Never-Ending Love
Child, when you drift
Far away from home
And sail out along the wind-tossed sea
Like a ship alone at night
Guided by the luminescent light of distant stars,
I will have no way of knowing
If the people who surround you
Are treating you right
And if you still smile in the sunlight.
Don’t forget you’re loved in the midst
Of life’s onslaught of chaotic events;
There are secret prayers echoing
In the chambers of a tender heart
That will always exist and be an integral part
Of whom you are as a human being,
Hands that will still touch your hands
In reassuring midnight dreams.
God will not leave you unprotected
Even a thousand miles from my breath
And I will not forget any promise I made to you
Even if I close my eyes unwillingly to death.
