May God never forsake children!
Saved for the sun's light
For yet another day
Only through Love in
The shape of a five year old child.
Not deserving the day,
Death the only release.
How does one explain
The knife turned
Against myself,
To the child.
Can she be taught safety
When witnessing destruction?
No, I must be more careful
In my means.
