A Mother's Poem

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
