Advice From a Solid Foundation

Hush little one I see and hear your tears If only I could comfort you and squelch your fears. I feel your fists pounding against my walls I'll be with you no matter what trouble befalls Your foster mother will one day have to face her fate Don't let her teach you the meaning of the word hate You are a wonderful child and have done nothing wrong You must not let her break your spirit, please stay strong Ignore her vulgar words, let them wash over you Don't take it to heart, it's definitely not true The bruises she inflicts will one day cease I feel your anguish, use me as your release. Make your dents on me to ease some distress Frustration and anger you should never suppress I want you as strong and solid as my own foundation Please don't succumb to her inflicted demoralization One day you'll be grown and will have a heart of gold But for now my walls will watch, listen and always enfold.
