They ask me, why you don’t make time to talk to me?
I think, if ever there was a problem and us distracted, then he can’t talk! …
They ask me, why you don’t want to be close with me?
I think, if ever I let you share my space then he may be robbed! …
They ask me, why you don’t desire to enjoy pleasures by me?
I think, at his cost that could be, then what… ?
They ask me, why you won’t just take a risk and marry me?
I think, if my back was turned, would you protect him, or cut his rope?!
They ask me, won’t you be lonely all those nights without me? …
I think, watching him sleep more safely feels more right…
They ask me, aren’t you scared you’ll grow old alone, if not with me?
I think, he might not grow at all, if I took the bait… !
They say, you’re mad to let your youth go to waste, stealing a moment won’t get you caught…
I so know, his innocence is more precious then their haste, and I’m more blessed then they thought… !!
“To think for myself is easy, to be selfless, and think for him is hard… But if the sacrifice keeps his innocent smile in place, then the smiles of pleasure can lay at rest, whilst I guard…”
