Within the shadows
There is nothing to fear
No monsters
No goblins
So dry your tears
There is no reason to cry
Aunty is here
I’ll tell you stories
About who your mommy was

She always had long gorgeous hair
And such hopeful blue eyes
But I will not tell you that your mommy died
With a handful of pills by her bedside
Or that your mommy sold her self
Or how she never knew the name of your father

Your mommy was twenty
But her face was worn and torn
She had a black eye my darling
But that she wouldn’t want you to know
She would want me tell you about
How she loved to paint
And how when she would dance
She would look so freed
And how she loved to celebrate
Over every little thing

Don’t fret my dear
Your aunty is here
And I will tell you the stories
And wipe away your tears
She loved you so much little one
Just go to sleep there is nothing to fear
Because in soul
Your mommy is still here
