To Heal a Heart
For a child to feel safe
they must know they are loved
a parent's kiss and reassurance
go a long way to help establish this
Lead them away from daily strife
show them the wonders of nature
take them to the sea, let them play
as you explain the joys of the ocean
Never argue in front of them
that is for when they are out
closed doors do no good
children hear the angry voices
Keep them safe and busy
there is so much to delight
in this world of ours
wrap them up in your love
When bad things happen
explain with simple words
remind them of good things
play with them and give kisses
Their haven is in you and with you
when a child feels safe and loved
the smiles and laughter come fast
so share their joy forget your heavy heart
