This is why...

The holding hands with the smallest of fingers
The shouting of the sweetest voices
The exploration of what will come next
Say what needs to be said
Do what needs to be done
After this, is why I'm scared

All the busy ups and downs
All the school runs and end of term discos
The twinkle in their eyes of anything is possible
Mam and dad are here, for yous should know

The silence of an empty home
The fear of living alone
Have I found joy in my life?
I truly have
If this was to go away, my house would not be a home
For this is why I'm scared
For this, is why I'm scared

When I sleep, I sleep with you two in my thoughts
When I'm awake I feel you two in my heart
I know mam has all the love in the world and aches if any of your tears shall fall

If any of this goes, this is why I'm scared
This, is why I'm scared
Change?
Please, not just yet...
