Be sweet
Be kind
You are in for a treat
You will always be mine

It hurts me to see you hurt
A little girl should not feel the wrath
Of a broken heart which every girl attempts to advert
But darling you can do the math

Please listen to me
It will not always hurt this much
Stick your small chin up and be
The child I knew you were at first touch

Please continue being tender and mild
That’s all you can wish for a child

I wrote this because I feel like we are all growing up too fast and we should just stay the same sweet little children forever.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
