Mommy's Keeper by Trinity Kanu
Mommy’s Keeper
I will protect you
I wanna protect what’s mine
I wanna protect because I wasn’t
Protected
I will always protect you from this World
I won't be strict about it
I want you to live and learn
I don’t really like children
I don’t really have a reason
Maybe it’s because I wish they Weren’t so vulnerable and blind
To things that can hurt them
Or maybe because
I see a young me in them thinking the ones i loved would never hurt me
I do want kids of my own
The most i’d want are 2
I want to protect my first
The second will be overly protected
They can go to their sibling or Mommy
But there’s nothing like mommies Keeping
I won’t sing or read nursery rhymes To mine
They’ll hear mommies stories and Life experiences
It’ll help develop their young minds
There’s nothing like mommies Words
Her words are like a safe haven to my ears
Sometimes they won’t want to hear It
But
The things we stray away from Always come back around for Confirmation
Mommy will be your keeper
Your father above will be your guardian Angel
We will guide you
As long as you take our hands
If you let go because you’re getting older now and “Can do it on your own”
Don’t question why things happen the way they do
Just listen and follow the guide Because you’ll always work things out / Find your way with directions
So be mommy's little angel
And she’ll keep you behind her gates
