Parent Pain

He is in denial of the harm he has done
Relating to his kids as tokens of a battle to be won

Their youthful years can not be returned
Nor will the opportunities he's trashed and burned

It would take a miracle to open his eyes
He says he is not responsible for causing their cries
 
And that his actions will create a grander fate
But that is not possible living in anger and hate

So I work to repair all he has damaged and torn
And often the days are long and my strength gets worn

But I want them to know when they grow old
It's not nature's plan for men to be cold

And should they be blessed with kids of their own
They will know a good dad uses a loving tone

I will teach them to be wise and to see with their heart
So that no man's pain can ever tear them apart

Inner Child

We each have a child that lives inside
for some of us that child has long ago died

The only things that have been left behind
are the broken dreams that play in our mind

My child did not know what was real or true
there was no one to guide her or give her a clue

She had faith in happiness, peace, and in love
but could never touch them as if she was born wearing a glove

Longing she felt through night and through day
each time she got close it was taken away

So fear and despair became her friends
and when this happens life soon ends

If someone had told her she was important and to "be bold"
this story would not have been written and it's lesson be told

For those of you who still shine from within
embrace your inner child and let healing begin

Life alone as a grown up has no rewards in store
only the heart of a child can open heavens door
