The Days We Played

the world is so fucking scary right now
she writes to her child

but you won't know the worst of it 
at least not for quite a while 

we'll ride bikes and color
read lots of fairy tales 

we'll spend more time at home 
we'll spend more time together
so we don't feel alone 

the world is so much different now
it changes day by day
but until a time you're old enough 
these will just be the days we played
