what is it about children
that when they’re cheery
you so want to keep them that way
that when they feel their first
painful losses,
when you know there are more to come, when
a friend ignores them,
they break a bone,
they see just a sliver of
the ugliness of our world
you want to cry for them,
to take it away
have you ever felt a moment
where a great life lesson
is yet to be said, do you wonder
if you should say it?
go off on how, don’t worry,
we’re really quite insignificant,
in the scheme of things, but still
have to try because, well,
it’s so much more fun that way
