sit with him

daniel

when the child comes to you as the voice of disquiet
will you sit with him? will you hold his heart in yours?
will you say to him – you are loved and i will hear you?
and will you tell him that he can come again
as often as he needs – until a time when he does not?
will you show him love and kindness, and have him know
that together, emerging from the quietness
you are sure to find the solace and the love of self
you both seek?
