Fragile and new
like spring's first dew
you took him under your wing
Gentle and fair
like the warm summer air
you noticed he wanted to sing
Concerned for his safety
this curious baby
you erased his steps before walking
Determined to control
his generous giving soul
You silenced his mouth before talking
And as he grew
learning and wondering
his poetic soul took flight
You feared your words
would go unheard
while rainbows decorated his sight
Somewhat older
and much more bolder
he began to write and dream
You simply couldn't allow
this heart to interrupt
your places to go and people to see
Then in the distance
the child remembered
voices from when he was born
Beaten in mind
Broken in soul
he longed for comfort and warmth
Shy and unsure he entered
this door that was somewhat hidden
Into a place full of forgiveness and grace
within a circle of hope he was living...
You watched from the corner of your world
confused and misled by your mind
Dragging him back to his solitude
You cut the ties that bind
Baby...
Quietly you exist in darkness
taught to ignore what you felt
But remember...
Ropes and strings will fray and break -
Glue will easily melt
Take the first steps with confidence
know that you are loved and safe
With hands and heart to guide you
you will never be taken away
Live the dreams your mind sang
during years of missing thoughts
With heaven and love to remind you
you will never again be lost
