POEM

I'll gently wipe away the tear on your cheek.
Can you hold my hand?
Is it ok?
I see you trembling...
Hold on child, hold my hand.
This shall pass
I promise
I promise to keep you from harm.
There, there little one
We are safe now
Rest your tired head
on my shoulder
I will hold you until this passes
I understand
I know
there there my child
I see the sun breaking through the clouds
I feel that gentle cleansing breeze
feel the healing powers of the wind
as the sun warms our souls
Rise up
open your eyes
Live your day
See the gift
of you
of this day
of the knowing
that you don't have to be
alone anymore
Take my hand,
rise up
Look
the horizon is clear
It's a new day.
