Come Along Child

Come along my dear child
as I release you in the world
When necessary I'll offer a shield
just take my example, use it well
My dear child, we'll work it through

Come along my dear child
to you I'll offer my support
as you grow and take it on
learning to survive on your own
Watching you thrive, out grow me now

Come along my dear child
the one who isolates it's self
A little push to help you through
your size is small, influence strong
Learning exactly what I taught

Come along my dear child
benefiting the journey traveled
a better outcome than before
Strong relations between the two
giving independence with a smile

Come along my dear child
A chance to turn around your world
offering hope to those like you
Helping you learn a new truth
flourishing love and thankfulness

~each stanza represents a different child.
