They will not be young for long,
the depression sinks in,
too many have been sacrificed.
Please don't let them grow old,
let them stay young to play,
let them play,
just please let them play.
I beg of you and plead,
I don't want them to grow old,
let them stay young,
I don't want to see them wither.
Let them play.
I cannot help it but I really ask,
let them play.
I cannot see it happen,
get them now and let them play.
They need to stay young,
don't let them see what I am.
Get them now and let them play.
Don't ask it of me,
I am already distraught and ashamed,
make it quick,
please keep them young and let them play.
Tell them Mummy will see them when they get there,
and when Mummy gets there.

This is NOT personal experience. It was just something that I thought that the world should be exposed to. Remember that this actually does happen
