To a Waif
Come to me, my waif, my angel,
Let me wipe those tears
Let me soothe your fears.
be your harbour whilst you heal.
Tell your story if you wish,
I am there, I will hold
whilst stormy tales are told.
Until your cracking heart is cleansed.
Then rock you gently
as healing tears fall.
Like a willow in golden light
You will again dance free,
lift head and arms to the sky.
Free again. Unchained.
I pray you will trust anew,
dare reach out a hand
and I pray it will be mine.
