300 seconds that’s all it took
To get you to sleep,
I’d sing my favourite songs
And hope you felt the vibrations
Through my chest and into yours.
You’ve known my voice for a while now
And I hope it still spells safety for you.
The older you get and more questions you ask
The more I want to know what you think of the world.
I’m not sure what to tell you,
It’s complicated my son.
Trust people?
No not that, certainly not that.
That was my mistake, it won’t be yours.
Love people?
Yes always.
Be generous?
Yes always.
Yet remember, every man woman or child
That you treat as friend,
Is enemy to themselves half the time.
Our Lord said it best,
Be as shrewd as serpents
And innocent as doves.
I’ll always hold you tight
And steady in the night,
Just as he’s held me
When I got my wounds.
I’ll sing your favourite songs
And hope you feel the vibrations
Through my chest and into yours.
