I often times wonder How do we keep going As we try to hide The pain we know that's showing The problems

that we face Sometimes makes us want to quit But deep inside we know That won't slove all of it Time once again is the healer Like it is for many things That's probably the reason We know we'll eventually win No matter what the burden No matter what the pain This thing that we call life Is forever an on going game Things will and do get better In no time at all you'll see What had you down a week ago Is gone and now you're free gggggg Marveling at simplicity Realizing divinity A child is alive, Within, she does hide, Though darkness beckons And cynicism threatens Our inner child calls To disregard it all. In spite of the pressures, Challenges and stressors Our inner child pleads Take care of me, please. Hearken to the voice within, Listen to your whims Dive in and explore To life there is more.

Deep inside, a child prays Awaiting better days A hope for tomorrow Life without sorrow Peace and serenity Health and prosperity A sense of belonging Hopeful longing And although harsh winds blow On must always know: Our inner child is there Guiding us, until we prevail. Jjjjjj
