Baby, Please Stay Safe

Little one, do not look around
Stay in your mother’s embrace
Even though your world is gone
Destroyed all around you
She will keep you healthy and safe
It is her job to allow you to grow up
And wander the world all alone
When the time comes, remember her
And how tightly she held you
You should do the same for your children
And she is sure that you will
After all...you learned from your mother
The best teacher you could ever have
