Aspire to inspire

 

 

I nurture and protect

My little one with care,

I ensure right things and

thought to others he spare.

 

While I cocoon him today,

From the happenings away,

I stop and pause and wonder,

How will I keep horror at bay?

 

The big bad world, I caution,

Will set out to get him,

While mountains, he scales,

And oceans he swims.

 

Hurt and disappointment,

With love, I can embalm,

Nightmares and torture,

Disturbs what little of calm.

 

I equip him well, I try,

To face the world with élan,

Everyone’s qualms to defy.

To be the human, he can.
