There is so much I want my sons to learn,
There is so much wonder in the world.
There is so much they should take on board,
There is so much to be seen and heard.
There are also things to be avoided of course,
There are also things they shouldn’t touch.
There is evil, tragedy, violence and worse;
Things I try to hide from them as such.
There are so many bad news stories about,
There are so many sent to eyes and ears.
There are so many, I have to shut them out,
Far too many fighting for our tears.
There is so much that I want my sons to learn,
There is so much wonder in their soul.
There is so little time until it is their turn,
To cross the bridge and face up to the troll.
