Innocent Child Poem by Amanda Cater

Innocent child of this earth,
i feel your burden,
heavy on your shoulders,
i cannot see your pain,
but,
in my heart i know....

Understanding,
the deep exhaustion that burns,
for all the suffering you have known...

In my eye's a flow of tears,
run a river blessed,
with wishes sweet and true,
whispered on the breeze that blows....

In my dream land,
your heart will be held so tenderly,
in this treasured land,
i whisper sweet wishes for you....

So sweet child,
close your eye's tight tonight,
dream of that far away place,
where rivers flow so pure,
and angles sing so clear....

Climb far above the terror,
that's held within your tired heart,
set your wounded soul free tonight...

Rest your weary body,
on the clouds of love,
where angels sing in tune,
a sweet lullaby for you....
