My child

This is to all the lonely, strong children out there, some thriving for survival, some looking for love, all waiting with courage we can find no where else.

My child,

You can lay your head on my lap,

The beautiful, bright sun is going to come out soon,

Close your eyes now,

Promise me you’ll not open them till I tell you to,

The sky may seem a little dark right now,

But it is going to be alright very soon.

 

My child,

I have arms that act like a pair of wings, enfolding around you, keeping you safe day and night till the moment the sun finally comes up again,

Those sounds that you are hearing right now, you will forget them very soon,

And I will melt the ice that has frozen your heart,

I will provide heat to keep you warm,

To never ever let your heart become cold again.

 

My child,

My beautiful lovely child,

You must be strong,

So strong that nothing can ever obstruct you from reaching anything that you will ever desire,

Like a wall of bricks, so invincible, so strong.

 

My child,

If you ever find yourself lost and alone,

And you feel like you have lost my guidance,

Do not worry,

Do not be unsure of yourself,

Keep walking and walking till you see the bright blue sky.

 

My child,

Your heart must be like a stream of water,

It never starts,

It never ends,

But it is always there,

No one knows where is the beginning, where is the end,

Because there is no end, no beginning,

It is in our nature.

 

My child,

With this,

You are now free.

One person cannot change the world, but the strength of one single person is sufficient enough to influence the whole world.
