My Child (Save The Children)

James E. Spurgeon Jr. 1986 (New Jersey)



Awaken young one
You must be aware
Your joy is with you
Your pain is where you seek
Incomplete is a perception
An understanding of defeat
An enemy is what you make it
Stop relying on what you see
Love is where you are
Neglecting yourself is what makes the distance
What's on the inside is never far
Never think to give all your love
Because love has no limit
It's kinda humorous, I must admit it
This world keeps you from yourself
Yet yourself, you're living in it
You are life, this is how you breathe
Death overcomes he without belief
