Protect Me from all evil,

As they surround me, bearing smiles,

But no gifts.

 

These well-worn disguises,

Painted in Disney animated colors,

Make it impossible for a simplified,

And rattled mind to see evil,

Or from where it comes.

 

I am as a child again,

Innocent, loving and mostly,

vulnerable.

 

Protect Me Lord. I beseech thee.
