Dear Child

a personal perspective about Life.

Shine bright, dear child!

Shine bright!

Let our love be your strength.

Let our dreams be your pillars.

Let our woes be your map.

Fly high, dear child!

Fly high!

Let these hands help your way

Let these smiles ease the pain

Let these arms shield for a rainy day.

Live on, dear child!

Live on!

Author's Note

I wrote this at a time when I (hopefully) grew a bit wiser. It's both an apology stemmed from years of guilt that only some could fully understand and a personal realization that a lot of us could relate to.
