Take My Child’s Pain Away

I feel so lost and helpless
When you’re in pain, my child.
I wish I could take it all away
And make you feel whole and mild.

I want to wrap my arms around you
And hold you tight and close.
I want to shield you from the world
And keep you safe from all its woes.

But I know that I can’t do that
For you are your own person.
You have to go through your pain
And learn to deal with it, my dear.

So all I can do is be here for you
And offer my love and support.
I will always be here for you
No matter what life throws your way.

I love you more than words can say
And I will always be here for you.
So please know that you are not alone
And that I will always love you.

Sometimes

Sometimes
Sometimes I need to step away.
Retreat in the darkness and hide.
Sometimes I need the quiet.
A place where no light can hit me.
Sometimes, I just need to step away.
 
But other times, I love the light. 
I want to be loud and bright
To go to a place that is loud and full of life. 
To laugh, dance and sing.

 
But sometimes the quiet is all I need.
