New World Lullaby
Hush little darling and go to sleep
Please have sweet dreams for daddy wants to keep
You away from all the nastiness this world has to give
To maintain your innocence and simply be a kid
I don't want you to hear about All the bloody wars
I don't want you to see hypodermics on the floor
I don't want you to worry about life for a while
Daddy wants to see you sing and smile
I don't want you knowing about North Korea's danger
I don't want you to run in fear from every stranger
I don't want you knowing about addicts choosing the wrong path
Daddy wants to see ride your bike and have a laugh
I don't want you to know how it feels to be depressed
I don't want you to know the existence of a suicide vest
I don't want you to worry about any financial strife
Daddy just wants you to enjoy your life
I don't want you subjected to all the propaganda
I don't want you to know we are killing off the panda
I don't want you to know the word paedophile
Daddy wants you to enjoy being a kid for a while
As you sleep so innocently in your bed
I wonder what dreams run through your head
Daddy has but one dream he has long since held
To raise you in a nicer world

wow really cool write linda wright
Hello Dave...
Isn't it strange how difficult it can be to try and not confuse a child...
For example: Don't talk to strangers in one sentence and then if someone tried to hurt you can't make it home run to a stranger's house and get help...
You're odds are better than finding a Police Person but, if you need help call the Police...
I say it's not easy trying to give advice to keep children safe...
Great write!
Thank you for sharing...
Hugs...

Thank you for the kind words.
I think there are a lot of differing opinions on keeping your children safe. I also believe there is a culture of lazy parents who would rather sit on their backsides than take their children out to play.
