Summer Child

a poem about my inner child

Oh sweet Summer child

chiiile, can't you see your charm?
everyone grabbing you by your hand

to love you the way they do

Oh Summer child

didn't they tell you life is hard?

death is easy, life is always worth what we cant fathom:

the unknown

Oh Summer child

love is hard, companionship is easy

and in between the lines of  love and lust is trauma 

that haunt your dreams no longer

Oh Summer child

an open letter from me to you

and all I can tell you is it gets better, and better, 

and better

each stepping stone harsher than the first

each lesson learned the hard way

Oh sweet Summer child

you've always learned fast

rising above what puts fear in your heart

the boundaries of the pursuit are endless

and you've shown me that,

summer child
