A Child’s Longing
(Nurture Me)
Nurture
her, but for awhile—
lend her what she missed.
Stay with her in the fading light….
as you clasp her hands, her hair you kissed
the
curled up body—you held so tight.
She closed her eyes, tears fell from her lashes,
her
mother ~~~ you’re the surrogate.
Sad memories, lack of warmth, the gashes
in her heart…she’ll suffocate.
Stay with her until she’s strong,
She
will not leave your arms
The darkness black, the road is long,
…the
sadness and anger harms….
So badly she needs what she did not get…
this
terrified, miserable child;
Wants love, and kindness and old needs met
replacing
the sorrow that is filed..
In the mind of a child, who has hurt all her life,
this
creature by all rights is blessed.
So stay with her, in her pain and strife
and
pray for her peace, at best.
The tide has turned, on hope she feeds
her
faith has found that the pain will fade,
The wants of a child, the music of needs
is
finally sung, and love displayed.
have
freed so many from chains…
And her love for others has planted seeds,
patiently
waiting the nurturing rains.
