There’s  nothing like the love of a child
to make us want to pull the walls down
that we tried so hard to build up….

when you can’t breathe bc you’re so afraid
of the fear that they’ll go away
or get hurt
or die….

and so the thousand mothers hide the tears they cry and stand in the emptiness for the love that is dying to be free

the love between you and me,
my sky girl, my child, my gift my friend my love and me.

and so we keep breaking thru
when we can’t break down

and watch as our feet find higher ground

child, mother, woman and friend, it is time to be
time to stand, surrender, and lend our hands to love
to truth
and peace

love while you can, while the day is still to day
cry when they cry, and laugh til they laugh harder
