Here in my home
In the shadows I lie
Here in my home
I watch my children walk by
As the years pass I watch them with care
As they play with each other
Unknown to them I stare
Once in a while
I leave a gift
Once in a while
I smile as I see their spirits lift
I watch from my window
As my children attempt
Some sort of tactic
To reach out to me
Such as a tree
Or a wheel even
Then comes one night
A cold October eve
I hear my children
It's as if they call out to me
I disregard my solitude
I rush into the night
I disregard my safety
To help my children in fright
I see my son
Lie in the night's veil
As my daughter fights
To no avail
The sight fills me with rage
As I exterminate the attacker
I was the lion that night
Freed from his cage
I bring my son home
My daughter soon follows
As I leave their house I hear their father
"Thank you for my children."
Silently I think to myself
"No Atticus....thank you for these children,"
"For they have shown me love."
