The Playground

It’s form is a child

Watching over the playground

Always hunting its prey

You may think on the young at play

It’s going to feast

I assure you not

For truly you see

The young are its heart

Full of life

Vibrantly free

That is what it protects

You must see

There are those it hunts

Just outside the playground fronts

Here are the predators that be

Very violent

So obscene

You must stay clear

Or in danger you’ll be

Remain and be seen

And leave them to me

Keeping this playground safe

For you and I

Remain

One day you’ll look for me

You will not find me

For I have returned to the earth

From dust we are made

Dust we will return

Make wise of your time

What you pour your heart into

So you will have a everlasting flame

That will burn for all to see

For all that you love

To always remain

Let love in

Let love live

Don’t give in

Don’t give up

Keep going to get that flame ablaze

Make your everlasting flame seen

Than a part of you

Shall always remain
