The Child Within

Marveling at simplicity
Realizing divinity
A child is alive,
Within, she does hide,

Though darkness beckons
And cynicism threatens
Our inner child calls
To disregard it all.

In spite of the pressures,
Challenges and stressors
Our inner child pleads
Take care of me, please.

Hearken to the voice within,
Listen to your whims
Dive in and explore
To life there is more.

Deep inside, a child prays
Awaiting better days
A hope for tomorrow
Life without sorrow

Peace and serenity
Health and prosperity
A sense of belonging
Hopeful longing

And although harsh winds blow
On must always know:
Our inner child is there
Guiding us, until we prevail.
