Little One

I wish I could say
That you're safe, that I'll stay
By your side every step of the way

I wish I could know
That you're safe when you go
From storm-winds that scream as they blow

I wish I could sleep

While you're safe, but I keep

In my mind, finding words buried deep

I wish I could dream

That you're safe, but tears steam

From my face, and you can't hear my scream

I wish I could tell
That you're safe, cast a spell
That would make it all somehow end well
