i bring hope,
happiness
from heavens above.
i colour your world
with glorious hues,
incessant chatter.
i can sense
your worries.
tiny frowns tell me all.
smile, all will be fine.
you look so charming
when you smile.
hold my hand.
i feel so sure when
you are beside me.
i like to explore
laugh jump play
skip sing dance.
please don’t shout.
give me time.
so much to find out!
don’t try to mould me
to the rigid rules
of your society.
treat me like
you would treat
an honoured guest.
for i am your child
to hold and cherish,
only for a while.
for all the little children
