The tears seem to come

from a very deep lonely place

She crys because she feels

no one or nothing can help her

She sees no way out

So - she crys

Then she feels like someone

is in the room with her

Yes, now she feels it strongly

It is the presence of love

It is Jesus

He calls her by name

You are my beautiful child

Oh, my little one you aren't alone

You aren't perfect, and I don't

expect you to be

You are my light to the world

Why do you cry?

Maybe you don't understand

how  wonderful  you are

You don't need others to say

you are great and have gifts

You are my child

Is there any gift more wonderful?

Yes, I know you are huriting

You have the spiritual tools to handle this

You may not want to handle it

but you can

I promise - if you do,

You will become stronger in faith

and be able to love more completely

So-reflect on the truth

Reflect on the truth of

being my child

Fall asleep in my arms tonight

Then the tears will leave and

you will sleep feeling loved
