If They Saw What I See

if they saw what i see they would not have been cruel never would have threatened you insults never hurled no betrayal, no breech of trust no wounding blows of blame there would not have been violence no damning words of shame if they saw what i see they would have known that you are a gentle precious treasure with so much love to give a partner, helper, and a friend a bulwark in the storm an oasis in a desert land a place of peace and calm if they saw what i see they would see this truth you're a beloved adopted child of mine and i’m always close to you my son they treated just the same they beat and pierced him too then my spirit healed and brought new life and will do the same for you
