Carol Mitra Poet Rhyme

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.

Sam Kauffman August 31, 2020 at 12:35 PM Wonderful tribute to your inner child, Carol! Can she come out and walk through puddles with my inner child? Some many inner children sit alone - unremembered and forgotten. Thank you for sharing your play date. Congratulations!
