If one gift I had to give <br />Deadening silence drowning you <br />Replaced by cries heard loud and far <br />Bring fierce guardians to your side <br /> <br />If one gift I had to give <br />Grave cross heavy upon your stolen innocence <br />A warm blanket draped in its place <br />Envelop you with warmth and comfort <br /> <br />If one gift I had to give <br />Horrid images burned deep inside <br />Removed forever with soothing touch <br />Remind you of your preciousness <br /> <br />If one gift I had to give <br />Fear encasing you, paralyzing you to reside within <br />Drawn out by loving trustworthiness <br />Reassure you of benevolence deserved <br /> <br />If one gift I had to give <br />Sickness and guilt weakening your spirit <br />Armor crushed by protective resolve <br />Restore your courage long forgotten <br /> <br />If one gift I had to give <br />Venomous spirits bleeding demons on your soul <br />Cast off forever by empowering verve <br />Pull you from the blinding darkness <br /> <br />If one gift I had to give <br />A box full of treasures would be yours <br />Of sacred youth revered and cherished <br />Of love and compassion bestowed upon you <br />The joyful times of a naïve childhood <br />Endowing a wholeness belonging only to you <br />Encasing you loosely, freely, guiding your way <br />To share your box of treasures with those who need <br /> <br /> <br />http: //allpoetry.com/poem/4573639<br /><br />Kim Schilling<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/one-gift-4/
