Protection

One thing I hate is that
My arms will never be big enough
To wrap around your body
All I wanna do it keep you safe

Physically I am too small to deflect all bad things hurling towards you
But I will do my best to ease any pain you have
from the things I could not protect you from

I will kiss you better and tend to any wounds you have
I can't save you from everything, even though I might try
I will make sure you won't hurt for long
