Inner Child

We each have a child that lives inside for some of us that child has long ago died The only things that have been left behind are the broken dreams that play in our mind My child did not know what was real or true there was no one to guide her or give her a clue She had faith in happiness, peace, and in love but could never touch them as if she was born wearing a glove Longing she felt through night and through day each time she got close it was taken away So fear and despair became her friends and when this happens life soon ends If someone had told her she was important and to "be bold" this story would not have been written and it's lesson be told For those of you who still shine from within embrace your inner child and let healing begin Life alone as a grown up has no rewards in store only the heart of a child can open heavens door
