Mysticalmistress' Challenge
write about the child within each of us.
The Child Within
In each of us a small child lives
Wide eyed and full of wonder
Seeing things we cannot see
That adults put asunder
Sometimes children, though, do have
Unre-a-listic fears
Of things that they don't understand
And this brings them to tears
Sometimes they're cruel to other folks
Because of some silly pride
Even the shadows they sometimes fear
So they will just run and hide
When the child who's deep inside
brings out your pride and fears
Reach deep inside with loving arms
And wipe away childish tears
Let the child know that you're an adult
And you'll keep it safe and warm
And that you're now strong and will protect
The child from any harm
Once you've done this and done it well
Very soon you will see
The wide-eyed world of wonder
That was meant for you and me
