To my babe, my fave

What I tell you my little girl, you must take grave

When in the west, the sun sets shallow

Do not follow into the hallow!

No matter what the men of the world whisper to you

Impressionable you are, please believe your mothers

My dear daughter, forever, let it just be us two

Let us pay no mind to a world that bares others

If I must, I will lock you away

A place where I can always keep you safe

Back to my womb I wish you’ll stay

From the world and its disgrace

Keep to your beauty, your charm, and light

Keep your innocence, like a pocket knife

And please my dear, though you bask in the May Shower

Keep your eyes from the world, when you pick those April Flowers.
