What Child Is This

Dear little girl with eyes of blue Your future self sends love to you Sweet child, so innocent and small Beware... your life will take it all Keep love burning in your heart No matter what ill wills impart I promise you will need inner steel To not be consumed by what you feel Find a love that ignites your light Music, a hobby, whatever feels right Being different is more than okay Just strive to always be that way Listen child ... most important of all So many times you’re going to fall You'll feel the dark tunnel will never end But remember ... you are your own best friend Learn to love yourself without condition You're perfectly designed for every situation.
