Nursery
Trust
These toddlers endue me full trust
When they cling to me as if their mum
Never hesitate or fear a drop or thrust
What if I let go or reject them
What if I cut off my love abrupt
Or unexpectedly my anger erupt
They do not test me before hanging out
How could they be so sure without doubt
Of my love, and their loveliness
Of a world of confidence and happiness
How soon they would hear Timber Wolf sinister
And malice of adopted mother and step sister
And learn that embracing arms may inflict harms
And indulgence may give way to negligence
and intelligence may take away their innocence
