If I could, I would
chase away the darkness
So it would never
touch you, child.
I’d spend a lifetime
spreading some kindness,
So parts of you
could be reconciled.
If I could, I would prove
that God really loves you
when the world around you
is breaking apart,
but dealing with hardships
is a part of living.
Ask God to come
and live in your heart.
If I could, I would give
you many good friends
who would fight and
stand by your side,
when others won’t give you
the gift of acceptance,
no matter how hard
you have tried.
I wish I could pave
your way with kindness,
and light a lamp
for you to have hope,
but all I can do
is pray for the best
and teach you the skills
you’ll need to cope.
I’ll bind up your wounds
and wipe away tears
as you become who
you want to be.
I’ll stand beside you
and cheer you on
as you work to fulfill
your destiny.
When I am gone,
I hope you will see,
I did all I knew
how to do,
to help you build
a strong faith in yourself
and find real peace
in you.
