A Mother's Poem

What you face, you do not face alone, for I believe in you. What you fear cannot harm you, because I will reach out my hand, gently touch the place that hurts. What you desire you will enjoy, for I know your heartbeats with love, a blazing light to melt the coldest ice, extinguish what is most dark. The new world you seek, you will find, for I know your courage; you will not be overcome, if you only believe in your own radiant power. So I am with you even in the darkest hours, silent yet true. Reach out your hand, and my touch will warm you, our fingers link to make the strongest golden chain. ~Lenore Horowitz
