For the pregnant daughter of a friend . . .

For Sarah

If you're feeling lonely tonight
And you struggle to stay in the light
Just look up, way up above
Past those walls
And to the hearts of those you love

If you wonder what's in store for you
And lose faith in the face of all you must do
Think of your mother
And the sacrifices she's made
And think of your lover

If you get scared because the little girl is gone
Open your eyes and welcome the dawn
Your childhood is over, maybe
But you'll get to see a new one begin
The childhood of your baby

If you get bored and everything sucks
Remember the kindness of one little duck
When you despair, here's what you must do
Take out this piece of paper
And read over these words I've written to you
