Let forever be

When I see you smile it lights the darkest places in my mind
Your eyes fierce fires that light my way
You warmed me numbed from pain
Once, not so long ago, your heart beat in my chest
You helped me breathe again and helped me lay my ghosts to rest

I’d pluck the stars from darkened skies to lay down at your feet
Rainbow aura, gentle kiss, you make my mind complete
And when I kiss you on your face and wipe your tear-like rain
I drink the sadness in my heart to make it clean again

I’m your mother and your friend and from the day you came
I want you to be free from doubt and injury and pain
I’m your shield and I’m the sword that keeps you safe and free
Just be yourself, that’s all I ask
And let forever be
