Child, when you drift <br />Far away from home <br />And sail out along the wind-tossed sea <br />Like a ship alone at night <br />Guided by the luminescent light of distant stars, <br />I will have no way of knowing <br />If the people who surround you <br />Are treating you right <br />And if you still smile in the sunlight. <br /> <br />Don’t forget you’re loved in the midst <br />Of life’s onslaught of chaotic events; <br />There are secret prayers echoing <br />In the chambers of a tender heart <br />That will always exist and be an integral part <br />Of whom you are as a human being, <br />Hands that will still touch your hands <br />In reassuring midnight dreams. <br /> <br />God will not leave you unprotected <br />Even a thousand miles from my breath <br />And I will not forget any promise I made to you <br />Even if I close my eyes unwillingly to death.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/never-ending-love-3/
