Wednesday's Child, I kept you

At the length of an arm

I hope I didn't cause you any harm.

 

Guilt ridden, I look at you now

As brave as a full grown man

But just a child, unflinching

Batting away each challenge

That comes your way.

 

Wednesday's Child, your spirit

Knows no bounds, full of woe?

I don't think so. No.

 

Full of resilience and strength

Humour, pride and charm

Filling lives with a love

Like no other, I will keep you

Safe from harm.

 

My everyday child, live your life

Take the world in the palm

Of your hand, know you can.
