Child of mine

Borrowed to my frightened heart
To teach
To bless
To love
You are so big

Your sweet smile
Your warm embrace
Your quiet words
Your angry dance

Allow me to love you
Allow me to hold you
Allow me to nurture you

Teach me patience
Teach me love
Teach me innocence
Teach me freedom

Feel my arms embrace your innocent heart
Feel my love embrace your aching soul
Feel my words embrace your challenging mind
Feel my touch embrace your wounded skin

Be free
Be love
Be joy
