Resident Reflection: Always

Always

My child, he says gently
I love you as high as the highest star
My child, he said
I will carry you as far as you need
And then I will set you down and
Walk beside you
My child, he says
I forgive you
As far as the east is from the west
On one can out love me
No one can defeat me
I am the victory in you battle
I am the only light to guide you through the dark
I am the only strength you need to fight
And my child, I will
Never
Leave you
Nothing you do or say will scare me away
Nothing that happens
Is too much for me to handle
For I am the creator of the
Sun and the
Stars
And I hold all of them in my
Hand
And you, my little child, are safe with me
In my arms

Always.
