Peace Child

Peace, Child, peace!
Be at peace in this valley of tears,
in this world of sorrow and confusion and fears.
Hold on to the things you know matter,
even if they seem upside down to you right now....
the love of your father
the love of your mother
the love of your brothers
the love of your God.
These things are still real and they are still yours. Hold on to them.
Courage, Child, courage!
Have courage in this scary place,
in this world that’s changed at such a scary pace.
Believe in the good things you know to be true,
even if the sad things seem bigger right now....
your incredible courage
your precious loving heart
your amazing wisdom
your gifts that you have to share with a hurting world.
The world needs these good things from you. Believe in them.
When God closes his eyes,
He sees you shining, shimmering.
He sees you crying, struggling.
He sees you growing, working.
He sees your nightmares and tears.
He sees you loving, laughing.
He sees your anger, your pain and your sadness....
...and your strength, your sweetness and your open heart.
And He says:
Peace, Child, peace! Courage, Child, courage! I am with you. I have dreams for you.
