Talk To Them
Come here you, yeah you.
Where do you think you’re going?
What’s wrong, can I help?
How long has this been going on?
Children, they are the future
So very cliché but true
But, we must step in at times.
That, we must do.
Ask the questions above
To start your dialogue of hope
Let them know you are there for them
They will soon be able to cope.
The road may not be easy
It is surely winding and long
But with people there to love and help
How can any help be wrong?
Communication, yes that is the key
To open the door to the hearts
Let them know, continue your best,
Tear their walls apart!
Barge in, take by the hand
Then calm with your soothing voice
Let them know, no matter what
It will always remain their choice.
They need to know you will be there
And not rule or take control
But be stable, strong and true
And ready to console.
