The Berth of Happiness

Through memories I have walked the path
of days from long ago,
where childhood dreams held promises
and failure held it's tearful woe..
Once I was a little girl,
but now I am grown up.
I face the fear of long ago
with less the tears I used to know.

This lifetime now insists that I protect my soul
and sometimes all it takes is to remember
with a smile those special times of innocent hope
and the childhood laughter I immortalize:
An open heart; an open mind,
being amazed at the newness of my world.;
Reaching out a fearless hand to help
no matter what the cause.

I long to find this child again
and to set her free to love
openly everyone she sees
and to look for hope above.
Take these earthly shackles off.
Set my spirit free
This growing injustice and hatred increase
is surely killing me.

Earthly vanity does not matter
It is not the dwelling for anyone.
Tear it apart and create a playground,
a place to play for everyone.
We'll hold hands like children
free and without prejudice
For the berth of happiness
can be found in all of us
