Confident Sensitive Child

How do you raise a confident and sensitive child?
Why would you cage an animal that wants to run wild?
Why would you dam a river, let the water flow through…
How do you?

Now I’m holding your hand while we walk to the park
I bring the light of the moon when your room goes dark
And you’re bending my mind into the shape of your heart
How I love you

Oh how I love you

When you feel embarrassment, I do too
When you smile with excitement, it’s mine too
If you’re shy in your sorrow, it’s my sorrow
This is how I love you

I do not live vicariously through you
You’re the most creative thing I do
If your eye is on tomorrow, my eyes follow
This is how I love you

Oh how I love you
This is how I love you
