My sweetest inner child
Stay calm
Rest silent
Listen to your heart
Ignore the disturbance
This noise
Does not belong to you
Sweet child
Â
The clatter resounds
Around you
Know it is not your place
To be held
In their over reaching
Palms
Â
Hold your breath
And wait
Patience is your friend
The winds will soon arrive
To drive the poison
Out
Â
Now exhale
Let go
Learn to hold your own
Your life lays before you
A journey they will
Never know
Â
Your mind
Is your scythe
Keep it sharp
And close to hand
So that when the time arrives
You can cut the dead wood
Out
Â
Your spirit is your
Sunshine
Call upon it
To cast the darkness
Out
Â
Keep your head
Held high
Your conscience
Higher still
Remember that hyenas
Will not leave
Without their fill
Â
Every forest
Has a clearing
Tho is may be hard
To find
Just trust
Your intuition
And leave
The lonely haters
Far behind
Â
You are not alone
I am waiting restlessly
When the day arrives;
The time for us to meet
I will greet you with a smile
And a loving hug
Â
We will reflect
On the journey
We have taken
To find our rightful home
I will hold you
Sweet child
I will share with you
My blood
Â
We will dance
Until we finally
Become one
Just like we always
Have been
If you had only known
You were me
Before we ever met
Â
I want no more
Than to thank you
For everything
You’ve done
Â
Without your strength
And self belief
I would not exist
So now that I have
Found you
And you have looked
Me in the eyes
I would like to warmly
Welcome you
My sweetest inner
Child.
