Because

Because she had a bad day. Because sixth grade can be rough sometimes. Because I sang this song to her when it first came out and she would turn away and roll her eyes but that was more for me while today she needs it like she needed a long hug and a long talk after school. Because the day she was born was the first day of the best part of my life. Because I can't take the hurt away, although I want to, nor can I make eleven year olds make kinder choices.
