Live through this

"It is infinitely easier to build a child than repair an adult."

take it scalding

take it hot

take it till it

hurts to squat.

a daily ass-beating;

that'll do

take it till u're

black & blue

take a beating
take it rough
take till you've
had enough

take all the above

but don't shed a tear

there'll be plenty plenty plenty plenty more

throughout the coming years.

take all the above

and seal it with a kiss:

God bless you

if you can love through this
