DON'T YOU WORRY, CHILD is lyrics or a poem or a promise or a wish...it's a Ma and her Child.....

DON'T YOU WORRY, CHILD

Don't you fear. do not cry...
You be mine, little Child
I won't let Harm come by...

You won't ever be sad
Without knowin' some joy
You won't be a hurt girl
Or a meanly-kept boy...

An' I won't be the one
To give you the moon -
You gotta work hard
No Good comes too soon...

but don't you worry child -
You're a child all the same...
I birthed you to life
Gave you breath and your name...

I won't let you down, child -
I will keep you to home
Well-fed and well-housed
Til' you're ready to roam....

I'll teach what I know -
We'll learn all the rest an' we'll
Not get too sad when
We can't be our best....

We'll do well for our people
An' try not to lie - we'll say
Many Hellos and be
Kind with Goodbye....

We'll take loss as we can
An' take gain with a song -
Use what ever we can well -
Try not to do wrong...so

Don't you worry, child -
I'm your Ma to the end -
I'll love you, my child -
More than any good friend...
I'll always love you, child
For you are my kin....
