THE CHILD
WITHIN
May you
always keep the child within
And retain
your sense of wonder,
As you stand
beside the mighty ocean
When you hear
the rolling thunder.
I hope your
heart always rejoices
To smell the
grass newly mown,
The tiny
germinated plant
From the
seeds that you have sown.
May it always
touch your soul
To feel
another’s care,
To share a
distant memory
And know that
they were there.
I hope you
enjoy the seasons
As they
change from year to year.
Rain filled
stormy nights
And morning
crisp and clear.
The daffodils
in springtime,
The rose’s
sweet perfume
Church bells
ringing ~
A smiling bride and groom.
May you
always walk in sunshine
And lend a
helping hand
To those
whose life has changed
From the way
they had it planned.
May you
always keep the child within
And laugh and
play and sing,
May you
always have the strength
For whatever
life may bring.
I wish you
love and happiness
And courage
to take a chance
And when the
music plays for you
I hope that
you can dance.
