inner child

I look around at my life
I see much that's good and right
Many a tear of sorrow too
Times when blinded to the light
Things have not always worked out
The way I imagined as a child
Those childhood treasures seem lost
Within this my turbulent mind
 
I may have a path ahead
A frightening path to take
Blinded to the outcome
To walk this path in faith
To step into my future
Into territories unknown
Faith in being guided
Thus never travelling alone
 
I have not always walked my path
I have often lost my way
I took the long route on my own
Which has led back here today
It is not always clear to me
Why the things happen as they do
I now know it's not to understand
Only to have my faith in you
 
Fear and doubt have had their time
My inner child heals my mind
My path as others is yet to unfold
As I walk the line
I am that I am is all I know
Love and compassion is my path
This shall surely lead me towards
The child within my heart
 
In light of all that's gone before
I give thanks for the path ahead
In appreciation for all yesterday's trials
My times of joy and dread
May I keep my faith within
Whilst on this path of mine
For I am where my inner child
Has always led me to find
