Touching Souls

I want.......
    To reach out and touch your soul,
    To stroke you and make you whole,
    To cradle you in my arms, like a baby,
    No longer possible, since you're a lady.

I wish......
    To heal in you all your pain,
    To make sure it never comes again,
    Only love in your life and harmony,
    Opened doors in your heart so you can see,
        All the wonders of life I've given to you,
        So many possible futures for you to view.

But all I could give to you is the breath of life,
    I cannot take away all strife.
Each person's job is inner healing,
    To do it for you would be stealing...
      Your chance for joy coming from inside
        With God's guidance, no need to hide.

I would, if I could take on all your pain,
    As I did bringing you to this life again.
But, your pain is yours alone to bear,
    And with this knowledge, I can only share
     What I have learned, the paths I've taken
Some wisdom learned, and some forsaken.

Here, my gift, daughter, for what it's worth
     Another womb for your re-birth.
