Poem/Song/Like Thing

Here's for the letter that I wrote you
I honestly don't know if you ever even read it
I honestly don't know why I ever even bothered
---
Because baby, you seem so lost
And I'm not sure if I have the strength to find you
---
---
Oh child, this is a tough world,
So you better grow a tough shell quick.
I know mama turtle never even bothered
But I'm trying to make these here words stick
----
----
And I believe you are smart and brave and strong
Deep down inside you
So get a shovel
And dig.
---
---
Oh child, this is a cold world,
But don't hibernate and burrow just yet.
I know poppa bear taught flight from pain
But I'm trying to just let you know
---
That I'm here
So don't stray
--
I believe that there might be a time, a place, another world
Where all our problems- don't necessary go away 
But we grow, we grow, yes we grow.
---
---
Oh child, this world is a changing
So take some advice from big sister tree
Sometimes we must adapt,
But it won't change the soul of me.
