DESTINYS CHILD.

POEM

DESTINYS CHILD

Innocent child, born out of love or out of desire?
Finding your feet, confused in this fragile world,
that we from destiny are bred.
Looking through trusting eyes, waiting to be fed,
the knowledge of life, which cannot just be read.
Growing up in a mixed up world, easily led.

Give me your tiny hand, child of mine,

Trust in my knowledge, hide behind my shield of love,
as I stand tall and grow strong in my care.
Let me pick you up when you stumble and fall,
guiding you through the waiting lair.

In this mysterious world, spinning round with the blackness of night,
and brightness of day,
tread carefully as the silent shadows evilly, are waiting to pounce,
on the weak and lead them astray.
Follow me, stepping in the warmth of the suns rays.
Leave the blackness of the night to the brave and those that more readily dare.

Child of mine let me put my frail hand into your care.
Life’s path has taken me through the labyrinth that destiny has bred.
My journey has nearly come to a head.
Let me hold on to your strength while I look back on where it has led.
