Shh, I'Ll Make It Go Away

I remember so clearly a day when Mommy made it go away When every hurt and every pain with just her tender touch, would wane When sting of bitter snow filled chill wrapped in her arms, would melt at will And when her enigmatic smile could make me sit still all the while I remember so fondly a day when Mommy knew just what to say And every lesson yet unlearned forewarned, to not let me get burned Some days when I feel cold inside the days when I just want to hide I wish that Mommy still could say Shhh, I'll make it go away
