Stay Little Girl Stay

You were that butterfly, just waiting for a chance to fly You kept asking me when, why and how, today or tomorrow? When will you get a chance to go up high in the sky? Acting like time is something you can only borrow And I tell you just to slow down, relax and breathe Just do and don’t worry if you stumble and fall I am not going anywhere, I am not going to leave And all you ever have to do is call I don’t need the details of your history Nor do I ask that you try to forget, It may remain your personal story or mystery Yet many of the scenes I can already set Your tender years have already shown you needless tears The experiences designed a formidable cocoon Encasing all your traumatic relentless fears But great things are to come, I promise and soon New quests, tales and times will carry you through Conquering what hides inside, perhaps find you a new mate Maybe you’ll find and formulate the new you Make new memories, a new life you could create You will no longer hide from the child inside I will hold your hand, allow you to explore and play No longer be alone as I will be by your side And maybe then in this world you’ll want to stay
