Me-My Child
 

Seems like a million years ago;
That I was very small and so,
No arms to rock me off to sleep;
No lips to gently brush my cheek,
I didn't know what love was about;
There were many things I did without,
No one said they loved me tenderly;
I finally realized what it did to me;

This child is lonely, I must confide,
There is such a void I feel inside,
I'll comfort her inside of me,
I'll give her love more willingly,
Tell this child it's okay to cry,
When something is hurting,
I'll ask the child why;

Deep are the answers if I look with intent,
Slowly they'll surface if patience is spent,
I know now just what I must do,
Cuddle this child, within it's true,
Reach out to people that are close to me,
Love this child within me deep,
Tell her each day I love her so,
Feel her unfold and watch her grow.
