Dear Vessel of Life

Dear Vessel of Life,

Let your inner child be free 
but first you must see
If your inner child comes to be 
They will be just like you and me

Am I in a place they can be free 
Or have I created an endless sea
If I start to gloat
They struggle to float
If I am filled with shame
They will certainly feel the same
They will try to swim
But our waves will beat them from within.

Pour out onto this earth
A clear and happy child birth 
For the pain we hold so near 
Will be that our children fear

Oh dearest child of mine 
give me a sign
That you are strong and free 
and I will make you come to be.
