When pain seems to choke you
Be a child

When you feel attacked and dominated
Be a child

When you are not understood
Be a child

When nothing seems to make you happy
Be a child

And then,

When you see yourself not being nice to others
Be a child

When anger comes into your voice
Be a child

When sweetness deserts your eyes
Be a child

Freed from all illusions’ bonds
Be a child, running up to his Mother

And there, in the warmth of our Mother’s lap
Sheltered by our Mother’s love and care
Be a child
