In the midst of the storm
I throw my arms
around you
I press you tight
against my heart
And pray that calm
will find you
Racked with
devastation
Your miserable
wailing fills the air
And all I can do
is hold you
Keep telling you
mama’s right there
I can feel your
sorrow
Your body fights
itself
You move and
tumble all about
Dangling from
every shelf
Everything comes
at you
All at once in a
blinding rush
You get so
overwhelmed
And wish the world
would hush
I want nothing
more than to free you
From the “too
much” in your mind
Dim the lights and
quiet the house
Make the peace you
can’t seem to find
I’ll tuck you in
against me
Rock you long into
the night
If that is what it
takes to help you
I’ll do whatever’s
right
Seeing you so
anxious
Makes my heart
hurt in my chest
I want to find the
ways to help you
I promise I’ll do my
best
So in this moment
I will hold you
Keep my words soft
and loving
Stopping for this
precious time
Until we both can
keep going…
