A Child's Peace

Tell me of your peace. Let it tell your story now Of trials and tribulations, a tale not of dreams Weary from a journey of self-discovery My child, know the comfort in your peace You feel hope in this familiar place As it gently sloughs the pain away Tell me of your peace In which we all are blessed and free Search throughout your soul sweet child Peer not within your cluttered mind Look out to rest your tired eyes but do not let them see Solace found strewn upon daily thoughts is fleeting at it's best Lasting merely moments, in untouched souls a true peace Oh yes! You'll know when you arrive but only you will know The world will melt away as a candle left under the blazing sun Away away, until you feel home again, an unguided familiar scene An innocence once lost is restored, all sins suddenly forgiven Soaking this in with relucant ease, Breathe it deep with a slow release Take it in, delight in details you discover Be calm here child, please have no fear, I am here You are safe in this place of yours, no hurt no tears We share not the same peace, no no Unique to each of us, yet stranger to none Trust in more than what you see, know beauty is within reach We share this unspoken bond of freedom from ourselves Please young one, listen closer now I say, leave it all behind you love, it will only weigh you down Cleanse yourself of careless words and careful lies I know you're weary, let go of all you carry Don't be afraid, here you are burden free Trust in you, blessed one, it's easier than you believe Sweet child, tell me now if you see Peace resting deep within Waiting for you For you to let it be

Thank you Drake. I wrote it for my oldest daughter who is struggling with the loss of her father. Tough write but well worth it.
