Narrative-Led Strategic Marketing Leadership for Growing Organizations

A Child’s Innocence During Tragedy

Open your eyes, child.
Let out your hand for me.
Hold on tight; don’t let go.
No, you can’t go out to play, today.

Everyone is sad and crying today.
Everyone is in tears.
Keep quiet and mourn with us.
No, you can’t go out to play, today.

The police are here for protection.
These are just precautions.
Don’t be afraid, it’s OK.
No, you can’t go out to play, today.

Sally can’t go out today.
Roger isn’t home.
All your friends are busy now.
No you can’t go out to play, today.

Sit still. Be quiet. No sound today.
We mustn’t make a scene.
Today is “their” day.
No you can’t go out to play, today.

Say goodbye. They won’t be back.
Don’t let go of the memory, ever.
Don’t lose sight of the hope in the distance.
Let open your heart to heal.
