Yes, my fretting, frowning child,
I could cross the room to you more easily,
But I've already learnt to walk so I make you come to me.
Let go now, there, you see!
Oh, remember this simple lesson child,
And when in later years you cry out with tight fists and tears,
Oh help me God please!
Just listen and you'll hear a silent voice,
I would child, I would, but it's you, not I, who needs to try
Godhood.
