With my Inner Child I sit I must, I am her I Love her, and I will show her I Care I want to understand her What she likes What she fears Why she fears How can I calm her How can I guide her To remind her I've got hold of her hand I will walk her into the World I won't let go, or lead her to danger I ask her her thoughts and listen intently, I want to know her stories I want to know the joys, her silliness I need to know what makes her run and hide in the dark, alone What must be resolved to quell the frustration that gnaws at her mind I want to regain her Trust and show her how it's done to keep her walking, head held high, to smile not to cry, to play not to restrain her wondrous ways, to play with her how she likes to I must be understanding but firm I must ask she also listen and learn I am her extended in Time I have grown and learned my lessons well, I will ask to be forgiven for what I have done, I will follow through with what I say to her. I will allow her to find her identity and celebrate it. I will allow her to explore and gain confidence in her Value and Worth I will proudly celebrate her successes and hold her tight when disappointment crosses her path I will show her resilience and how much fun it is to laugh I will show her the Pride in Humility and the rewards of Discipline We are One in the same learning to integrate our common strengths. I look forward to learning what she teaches me and I will always be Proud to call her my Inner Child.
