The Asylum

Your going out, but not the same way you came in,
your walk tall and proud your eyes will hide,
the tears you cried,
for within yourself
you have so much pride.

walk out of here without any fear.
embrace your family who have all along
been there for you,
now for them be strong.
moderate your faith, don't hide behind our lord
religion for some can be a double edged sword.
remember dear friend, when you took your marriage vows,
for you and your husband, they have never been
so important as now.

you have a loving partner, and a sweet little girl,
who needs a loving mother to show her the way,
to grow up with admiration and so much pride,
that she had loving parents there at her side.

so dig deep my dear friend
bring forth all the love you have hidden away
for them you must be their Joan of arc,
stand up and be counted, don't slip back to the dark.

I remember the first day you were pacing the hallway
there i stood blocking your way,
i said hello but your ears did not hear
your eyes did not see, 
so the ice queen walked passed me
never came in for tea.

now I've seen the change in you,
you are someone brand new, and I can be proud,
that your a loving person, that I got to know
I thank you especially for the kindness you've shown,
your compassion knows no bounds
you are a star shining brightly
that showered me in light.

you have so much love inside you
that you must set free
just make sure
its aimed at you family

so take care my dear friend
please do one thing for me
pray for your family
as I will for thee.
