Dear Child of War
You know me as a stranger
I had not meant for
You to be born of fears.

I hope you grow not
To know me as a danger
And I have not forgot
The pain I've brought the years.

You've been forced to grow
So much in little time
And now I know
Not to forget what you can do

I can see the pain
Some of it mine
The child has been slain
That was once inside of you.

Dear child
of Mine

Dear child
of War

But you will heal
With time

And that is all
I hope for.
