This is a nice piece, i really enjoyed it. Never saw the concept of protection gone about in such a way. I like how you kept it mysterious and actually took yourself "into" the child. "I set my feet inside your soul
and brace within me your heart's song"
This and the fourth stanza were my favorite parts. Your examples of actual child thinking, like memories of things you thought they'd forgot, and fairy tales, really turned this piece up. So much for a simple topic, well at least to me. Nice drop, keep writin, keep doin it.
