I Wish

Ah, little one
crying in the Night, unheard whimper
stifled to escape the hurt that
flays your heart and skin if you are
heard.

I wish there was a lullaby
a gentle soothing murmur that would
wrap around your wounded soul
broken wings of fledging size
defenseless and despairing.

I have no words. No lullaby.
no faerie wand to waft away
your muted pain,
catch each dew drop tear that slides
unbidden, brushed aside so quickly
from your mourning face.

Fragile little heart
I cry unseen, with you, my child
deep in my heart and pray
perhaps one day you will
feel safe enough to take my finger
see my hand is empty of the hurtful
instruments that cut or burn or whip
you into cruel submission

Perhaps you will feel in just my finger
there is LOVE and HOPE
that there is a touch that does not
hurt.
