When the monster comes

I remember those good ol' days, though it's not that long ago. Summer, fall, spring, and winter; through all the drought and snow. Scraped knees and fallen leaves, we dreamed with what we had. With a baby sis and dad I missed, and mama's feeling sad. I'll dry your tears and fill your ears with "momma I love you." I'll help feed your baby girl, I'll help her tie her shoes. I'll make her smile, I'll tell her how, she's beautiful like you..

When that sun goes down and the sky it fades. That monster comes, I won't be afraid.

When that monster comes; I won't be afraid. I'll be your little 'man.' I'll do the best I can. Momma, I promise, with tears in my eyes. I'll be your little 'man' do everything that I can. Momma I promise with tears in my eyes.

Kinda freaky, there, Carmel Kirk! I don't really like to say that, though, where Momma's concerned.
Of course, I wonder who or what is the monster.
But poets have all kinds of secrets so I won't ask.
I love this!
