little one

 
wisdom enters gracefully and my mind smiles
melancholy of heart I need her guidance
she sits and contemplates me with soulful eyes  
 
then in a small voice utters love yourself more
do this in everything you do...she chides
enchanted by her melody  
I sit back and consider her request
 
I love myself I protest...
 
with a hush she stirs  
and says love yourself more Brenda
I deeply consider her then
lady grace sitting perfectly composed before me
gentle rain over a lake is listening to her lilt
 
I tremble and whisper help me
she takes my hand presses it to her heart
and says she is with me
straight is the way before you  
you will not falter  
 
I am your journey's companion
I am your guiding eyes
in the truth you shall abide forever
take heart little one
