Dear child,
You ask why
From up high
I send you test after test
With no rest
No time to breath
To be at ease
Why so alone
Everything on your own
My child,
Sometimes it seems
Like a constant fight
Sometimes it seems
Like there's not enough might
Like whatever you do
It'll never be enough
It'll never get easier
But will continue to be tough
But my child
I'm always with you
I'm with you in
Whatever you do
It seems like there's no purpose
No reason to live
There is, my child
It's yours to give
When it seems never ending
It's to make you stronger
Whilst you know you're failing
Instead getting weaker
Coz' it'll continue on
Until you learn
That my love
You don't need to earn
My child
When it seems never ending
Like all is darkness
When you feel you're moving
Further and further away
Know that
You're never alone
I'm always with you
There is a purpose to it all
Even though you can't see it now
When you wonder why
You haven't given up
Know that
Although you can't see it
There is purpose
There is reason
There is meaning to it all
And although it seems impossible
You can get to another side
Because, precious one
You're never alone
I'm with you
Holding your hand
Guiding you
I wish I could always choose for you
Instead
I watch as you fall
I see you trip up
And my tears
Mingle with yours
I can never do your work
For it's yours to do
Your life to live
And one day you'll see
That you were never alone
You'll see how constantly falling
You'll see how battling life
Has made you into
Who you are
It'll teach you how to
Constantly climb
To know how precious life is
How much it means that you're here
The light will be more special
Than if it was always yours
You'll instead turn the need to give it over
To me, to G-d, instead of to those
Who can never fill the need
You'll love yourself, with your flaws
For being you
And learn boundaries, live with boundaries
That you'll never have known had to be there
If you hadn't always broken them
You'll be able to give to others
To love them
Those who try your patience
Who make you want to scream
You'll know how to live
How to just be
For you've seen the other side
And you, my child
Can get there
Throughout the dark
There's always a light
You can and will find it
If you just keep on going
And trying to do the next right thing
You don't have to succeed
Every moment of the day
You don't have to succeed
Ever
You just have to try
And your success is up to me
I know you don't want to hear that
It's yours to try
And mine to give
You're not alone
And the other side
Is worth aiming for
Don't give up
Along the way
I know how much of a fight it is
But you can do it
When you think you can't take another step
Just take one more step
If you don't give up
You'll get there
And will see for yourself
That it's worth it
That you're worth it
That you can get there
That you'll always be, my child
