LET ME INTRODUCE YOU TO SOME OF MY FOUR-YEAR-OLD'S NUGGETS OF WISDOM......

"GUARD-STEMMER"-THAT'S ANY LONG, GOOD STICK HE CAN FIND OUTSIDE.

"GUARD-STEMMING"-THAT'S WHAT HE DOES TO THE GROUND.....STILL NOT SURE WHAT IT IS. MAYBE HIS WAY OF GARDENING.

"SMACKIN' IT UP"-OH, YOU DIDN'T KNOW ALREADY? SURELY YOU'VE HEARD OF THIS. HE TAKES HIS "GUARD-STEMMER" AND DRAGS IT ALONG THE GRASS, THUS THE TERM "SMACKIN' IT UP".

"MOLE-HOLE DIGGIN'"-SELF EXPLANATORY.

"FORKIN' IT UP"-USING A FORK TO THROW SOMETHING, ANYTHING UP INTO THE AIR.

I'M SURE YOU'RE ENLIGHTENED NOW.

THE LONELINESS WILL NOT LAST MY CHILD,
THE TEARS WILL SOON CEASE.
JUST COME TO ME AND BE YOURSELF,
AND YOU’LL FIND SWEET RELIEF.

A TRUER FRIEND YOU’LL FIND NOWHERE ELSE,
NO OTHER CAN LOVE YOU LIKE I CAN.
JUST COME TO ME, BE HONEST, BE TRUE,
AND LET ME TAKE YOU BY THE HAND.

IN YOUR DARKEST MOMENTS,
I’VE NOT LEFT YOU, I’VE BEEN THERE.
I’VE SAID I’LL NEVER LEAVE YOU, LOVE,
I’LL BE WITH YOU EVERYWHERE.

I KNOW THE DARKNESS SOMETIMES LASTS
SO LONG, LIKE IT WILL NEVER END…
BUT TRUST ME, KEEP ON WAITING FOR ME,
I’M THERE JUST AROUND THE BEND.

SOME HAVE BEEN GIVEN SWEET LIVES,
SOME HAVE BEEN HANDED MANY SORROWS…
BUT I NEVER PROMISED HAPPINESS, ONLY HOPE,
THAT’S WHAT WILL GET YOU THROUGH EACH TOMORROW.

SO THROUGH THE HOPELESSNESS, KEEP HOPING,
THROUGH THE LONELINESS, STAND STRONG…
KEEP TRUSTING IN ME WHEN IT SEEMS TO YOU
THAT I’M DOING IT ALL WRONG.

KEEP YOUR EYES FIXED ON ME, CHILD-
NO OTHER WILL BE ABLE TO OUTLAST.
JUST TRUST ME, I HAVE YOUR FUTURE,
YOUR PRESENT, AND I ALSO HOLD YOUR PAST.

IF YOU’RE ANGRY WITH ME, I CAN HANDLE IT.
IF YOU’RE SAD, COME TELL ME WHY.
BECAUSE NOT ONLY FOR THE WORLD, BUT FOR YOU, TOO,
DID I RISE AFTER GIVING MYSELF TO BE CRUCIFIED.

DON’T LOOK TO THE LEFT, NOR THE RIGHT,
STAND FIRM IN MY WORD, AND ME…
KEEP DOING, LOVING, FORGIVING, TRUSTING,
FOR IN ME, YOU’LL ALWAYS BE FREE.
