• Taking on the World

    Through a million transcripts,
    I study and I delve,
    Because they’ve always warned me,
    The world will end in twenty twelve.
    In my mind I know I can stop it,
    I know I can protect you all,
    I’m the one who will stand strong,
    When others break or fall.
    I’ll face your inner demons,
    The kind you run from when you see them.
    I can take the monster under the bed,
    He dares to pick on you? I’m seeing red.
    I’ll wrap my arms around you,
    And whisper, “Have no fear”,
    Nothing can ever harm you,
    When you know that I am near,
    I’ll protect you always my darling.
    To hear you say “I love you Mummy,”
    To know I make you feel safe,
    To see you cutely suck your dummy,
    When you’re wrapped in my embrace.
    Yes when you are in danger,
    I can face anything,
    I am you Mother,
