I hope you enjoy it...
Does it pain your heart to know that people do bad things?
Or worry your sweet innocence that death waits in the wings?
Worry not that harm may come at some unsuspecting time,
or that you may be caught off guard by some unnerving crime.
Just keep your wits about you, watch your flanks and self-protect,
remain steadfast in vigilance and from this don't defect.
But if by some unseen attack or accidental chance,
you or I should get the nod and have to leave this dance,
don't be frightened, don't look back, continue on to strive;
death will come to all of us, so enjoy your time alive.
