A cruel place

The worlds a cruel place



Your young

I said to the baby in my arms

You have so much to do & learn

He smiles and giggles at me

A tear falls from my eyes

I wish you'd stay like this forever

But I know you can't

He keeps smiling

The worlds a cruel place

I wish you didn't have to endure that

The worlds a cruel place

I wish I could save you from

But I can't

All I can do is

Pray & Pray that

This cruel world of ours

Will treat you good

Unlike it has done me

He looks at me in awe

I wipe away tears

Lean down and give him a kiss on the head

I whisper

The worlds a cruel place
