in my dreams
there is a world
in which
every child has a loving parent
arms to hold them close
soft words and kind eyes
wisdom and grace
firmness
strength and purpose
and infinite
love
every child has a loving parent
hands to lift them up
catch them when they fall
warm laughter and
tears
to show them how
emotion is strength
and infinite
love
every child grows
in body ~ in spirit ~ in mind
to fear only those things which
sting ~ bite ~ burn
to view the dark
as a chance
to see the stars
to view strangers
as opportunities
to learn new ways
to view differences
as unique and wondrous
illustrations
of the infinite possibilities
of
love
