Out of Harm’s Reach

I see danger,
You see fun,
Because you’re a kid
And because I’m your Mum.
Since you’ve existed,
I’ve worried each day
About how to keep you
Right out of harm’s way.
But you are oblivious,
And long may it last,
You’re growing up fearlessly,
(and terribly fast).
One day when you cradle
Your babe in your arms,
You’ll see why I work hard
To keep you from harm.
