The Voice of a Child
I speak with the voice of age today
Yet see through the eyes of a child
Her inner spirit courses through me
Flexing her wings wanting to be free
Inside my heart she plays with my memories
Skipping from one to the next
She amazes me with her imagination
But on days like today
She peers through my eyes watching life go by
She listens to my voice speak
Not understanding what I say
She writes herself a little letter
And hands it to me
The letter plucked from the voice of my heart says
…set me free.

This letter is to my inner child who is as she has shown me, alive and well but wants to be free. Perhaps the next time it rains I can stomp around in a puddle for a bit ;) Or bake some cookies and make a horrible mess as I do. But I do think after 35 years, she deserves some attention and most definitely a big hug.

Happy Birthday my dear. If we all let out our inner child, the World would be a different place. A place where our tears could still be calmed by hugs and smiles are every ready. Would that it were so.
