The Inner Child

I've caught glimpses lately
of that little girl inside
the one that's always been there
though she chose to hide

I see you little one
I feel you come to life
Like a butterfly unfold
Leave your cocoon behind

Fly high, be brave, little one
Rise up out of the dark
Your light is welcome here
A brightly glowing spark

It's time now, little one
Your purpose now I see
To bring peace and love and laughter
To all, including me

Stay with me, little one
Stand tall for all to see
We've a lot of catching up to do
My Inner Child and Me.
