Dear Inner Child

*I close my eyes and think of you and though the stars of night have silvered me with age they still unlock my mind, time after time * Inner child of mine don't fail me now Nacred with age and light I am nearing the hour Naturally, like a child yawning in her sleep Eternal as the sea I ebb and then recede Receive me now oh sleeping child and help me Cardiac rhythms slow but heart is keeping pace Harmony of life still wrapped within my youth I'd like to open you and cradle you once more Love me inner child, love me tenderly until I , Die September 5, 2021 Sponsor Chantelle Anne Cooke
