Oh My Child
Allow your broken heart to heal and begin to love yourself
It is with this alone that you will find the truest wealth
Child, you are worthy far beyond what you believe
Despite your past and tragic losses for which you grieve
The burdens you have come to shoulder, were not yours to own
Carry them no more my dear as you've nothing to atone
There will be storms in life, of which you must endure
You will be greater for them, of this I will assure
Boldly sail each tempest as a challenge to embrace
You may bend but will not break; you shall transcend with grace
It is with this alone that you will find the truest wealth
Child, you are worthy far beyond what you believe
Despite your past and tragic losses for which you grieve
The burdens you have come to shoulder, were not yours to own
Carry them no more my dear as you've nothing to atone
There will be storms in life, of which you must endure
You will be greater for them, of this I will assure
Boldly sail each tempest as a challenge to embrace
You may bend but will not break; you shall transcend with grace
