There he is again
The little boy showing up
Holding his broken heart
Looking for that love
That never seems to be enough
There she is again
The little girl hiding behind
Her mother’s skirt
Not sure the world
Is a safe place after all
These wounds we carry
From there to here
From then to now
Haunt us from time to time
When they show up
Pay attention
Reassure
The child within
Yes, there is enough
To go around
Yes, love will take us through
All the way
To the end
