When a child asks about the cruelty in the world.
Switch off the TV’s
Cover their ears
Wrap them in cotton wool
Drink all their tears
Drown them in fairy tales
Sing them sweet songs
Take them to places
The bad don’t belong
Bathe them in sunshine
Shower them with love
Serve them their childhood
Wearing kid gloves.

Tempting, isn't it?
When raising my lass, I was always torn on this. This, and the usual tooth fairy stuff.
A lovely little piece this though. Warming.
