Softly

Softly, softly
Whisper

Slowly
Careful

Do not scare them
We wouldn’t want to frighten them away
I think they understand
I think they’re learning

Soaking up the words


One droplet at a time
Louder now
I think they can handle it
I think they’ll understand
Faster, just a little
Ease them in
I think they’ve got it
Raise your voice

A little louder
Bring what they’re avoiding home
Yell no, I think
I’m sure they’ll take it
Scream the words right in their ears
Even if they do not want to

It is time for them to hear
