Child's Perspective
Imagine feeling helpless, defenseless and alone.
Imagine behind each dark door new terrors
of the unknown.
Imagine looking forward to the years ahead
With secret, silent brooding, and paralyzing dread.
Now, interject a smile, and a hand held out in love;
The warmth of acceptance, security and trust.
Chase away the demons, the terror and the night.
Let love bring out the brilliance of one small soul's light.
Bring out creativity, intelligence and fun.
Fill that life with goodness, encouragement and success.
Chase away the demons, the terror and the night.
Let Love bring out the brilliance of one small soul's light.
