don't let children alone

A young girl dies

Walking to the stream and drown

Leaving her world so young

The parents will mourn a long time

Don't leave the young ones

Let there be adults around

The young minds want to discover

They don't see the danger ahead

How many times we are told?

Don't let the young ones go out alone

There will be demons wanting to take souls

Once they find the opportunity they will

We have read the sad stories

A child fell from a high rise building

A child was killed by a reversing car

A child was drowned in a bathtub

We can face the consolation

They came to our lives but short and sweet

The memories will stay for life

I always remember my sister she died aged 3 years old
