Silent Promise

Her vulnerability

Her pureness,

Expose her

To what consumes.

My arms invisibly

Reach around,

To protect her

From a world that’ll devour.

Devour her sweetness

Devour her innocence,

Strip her of all

She angelically is.

She is a darling

Kind to the core,

With a soul

Too lovely for this world.

Maternal instinct

Wills me to shield her,

Shield her from harm,

Unhappiness and stress.

A silent promise

I have made to her,

And silent protection

I have promised to give.
