A FATHER SPEAKING TO HIS CHILD

It’s alright.

Lift your head

and look into my eyes.

The pain you are suffering

will only last a moment.

The tears you are crying

will soon pass away,

and even though you may not think so,

you will become stronger,

a new person with a new story.

It’s alright.

I’m here,

have always been,

will always be,

even when you feel

like you don’t need me,

which you will.

Take my hand,

tell your story

to those who’ve never known

what you now know.

Give them hope.

Look into my eyes

my child,

and I will help

you walk boldly

into this new day,

this new brightness,

this marvelous journey

unfolding like waves of the sea.

It’s alright.

I promise.

It’s alright.
