My Inner Child

I close my eyes and hug my inner child the purest form of me When things go wrong and not to plan she is my closest confidant. I treat her well this inner child Who holds my hand from six to seventy-five Though I am tall and she is small We fit well together through it all. I help her along to sing that song That makes me want to sing along I treat her to an ice-cream stick Her favourite one she likes to lick As night time falls now together The curtain falls, we hug each other and fall asleep, to dream of Kings who slay the demons in our sleep I set her free this inner me To walk in rain and climb up hills To swing free and land gently She is the inner child in me. 30.08.2020
