Little Child

Little girl tuck in tight and don't worry that man's not going to come to say goodnight he's not coming because we sent him away for what he did day after day. Little boy hold your teddy tightly and sleep easy because we've taken him far from you he won't be back to do that to you again sleep safely now it's finally ended. Little child sorry for not coming sooner for being deaf, dumb and blind for not seeing, hearing, fearing the signs sorry for the years you lost your innocence and so much more. Little girl, Little boy, Little child no apology can ever be enough will try our best to try harder next time but at least you can sleep safe whilst the next child lies frightened tonight.
