I've searched all the mystical places I've built inside my mind.
And weep, for there is no spell, nor enchanted sword
To protect the children from the monsters that walk here
Among us
Oh, this is so spot on. It's a terrifying thought for any parent. Those last two words pack a punch. Well done!
ReplyDeleteMY favorite, because it's so true. I want to protect ALL of us, not just our children from the evil in our world. I would truly like to give the world a hug.
ReplyDeletewow, Renee, this was beautiful.
Oh this is really good and its very true. Monsters lie within all of us, but some are particularly keen.
ReplyDeleteThat is so sad and yet so true! Very, very good!
ReplyDeleteYes! This is so true. I struggle with being over-protective...the knowledge that I need to let them have space, but the fear that the moment I do, something bad will happen.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably my greatest fear, too.
ReplyDeleteperfectly written
When the shield of righteousness is there , no fear can touch anyone.
