Almost all parents want to protect their children from harm…

tiny baby
curled up
dreaming
dreams none of us
can remember
innocent
and untouched
by the outside world’s
false gods
and lies
you sleep
hopefully
protected by those
who love you
but darling baby
into the breach
you shall go
pushed into a world
not of your own making
a world
that is as bad as it is good
and you will have
choices
to make
and you will
forget
your baby dreams
and become what
they turn you
into
and the cycle
will continue
until the very
end

sweetest one
with tiny toes
tiny fingers
tiny nose
all wrapped up
so snug and warm
I hope you’re glad
that you were born

you are a child of the universe
filled with beauty
light
and stardust
you are being given a chance
to love all living things
to be kind and generous
to be fair and brave
I hope your feet
never stray from that path
because
the world needs more
heroes

there are two of us
instead of one
I think they call us
twins
let’s not be
competitive
and never care
who wins
let’s just be
friends
forever
live in each other’s
heart
now that have both
been born
it seems the way to
start
I’ll have your back
no matter what
you never need to worry
let’s take our time
and grow up slow
there really is no
hurry
so let’s have fun
we’re two
not one
and dream
our baby dreams
of wild ponies
kings and queens
and paper boats
on diamond streams
sleep my sibling
and when you wake
let’s start our life
together
I’ll hold your hand
through thick and thin
through any kind of weather

sleep
and dream
of beautiful things
for soon
the real world
will push it’s way into
your life
and the clouds
will no longer speak to you
and the unicorns
and angels
will be replaced
with video games
and war
as you struggle
to remember
all that was beautiful
before you
came here

flowers in her hair
she sleeps
dreaming baby dreams
unaware
of the world
adults
have waiting
for her
