SURRENDER

I surrender to the tiredness with knowledge of sleep yet to come.

I surrender to your emotions and let go of every tantrum

I surrender with my mind and in turn my body follows,

I surrender to your growth and welcome lessons of tomorrow’s

We cannot break what’s broken and so this is my surrender

To hold you close and guide you, and let love be my mender.

May our journey be filled with light and memories that are sweet,

May I always find the strength to match yours and the calm and patience to defeat.

For with every smile you give me and every laugh I hear.

A deep warm rushes over me and my purpose is crystal clear.
