    The Child Inside

    There is a child inside me
    I know her by her name
    I hear her crying now and then
    When she's lonely, sad or scared
    I go to her and hold her
    Her mother so it seems
    I tell her that I love her
    That she can now be free
    So run and leap and dance and sing
    And frolic in the sun
    No one will ever hurt you
    Or touch you ever again

    Because I will protect you
    You'll never again feel the blows
    I'll take the sorrow and the pain
    A child should never know
    Innocent child be pure and clean
    In my heart of hearts
    Shielded by my goodness now
    From their hands and eyes and words

    I really enjoyed reading this. This poem causes the reader to dwell beneath the simple words to different meanings/outcomes/scenarios. I thought it was a rather deep experience for a poem that reads simple on the surface,but is quite complex and layered in mystery.

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
