Us

Hush hush little one, there's just you and me now.
Hush hush my little love, there's just us now.

We're not beggars to plead.
We do not ask for the crumbs of your bread.
We're not ragged toys to be left behind.
We do not ask to be brought along.
We're not in a competition to compete.
We do not need to be ranked last.
We're not in a queue to fall in line.
Why should we wait?
We're not homeless.
We're not alone.

Because, there's still you and me.
Because, we have us, little one.
