Touch Therapy - 7
Have our Inner Children
outgrown our hustling hearts,
have they become quiet
rather than curious about love,
do you remember the first time
your Inner Child screamed
at the world justly,
can you recall the original jiggle
that gifted happines's riddle,
I want your Inner Child
to climb the trees of my eyes,
to draw enigmatic pictures
about how my heart beats for you,
I want your Inner Child
to trust the tone of my voice,
to feel safe in the storm
as long as I'm there to care,
I want our Inner Children to remind us
why love listens to laughter
and why creativity plays
freely in their impulsivity,
I want you to teach
my Inner Child how to reach
into adulthood's padamonium
and reveal the secret of eternal joy...
