Her smile, bright as a beacon in the dark
Her eyes sparkling like diamonds,
She reaches out her right hand to you,
And suddenly you're no longer frightened.
In the depths of her soul she understands
The hidden effects of your trauma.
And in her compassion she seeks to heal
Your wounds from a lifetime of drama.

But what heals is not generic.
Something different works for each of us.
For some a pocket full of money feels safe,
Others need a heart of love they can trust.

But whatever will facilitate your healing
It must begin by breaking free.
Casting off the chains of past trauma
With the courage to have faith and believe.
Believe that you can be set free.
Faith that the chains are the enemy's fraud.
Willingness to walk your path courageously,
Because you are a child of God!

As His child you'll be protected,
As your Father, He'll keep you from danger
And when you are not in His sight
He will send a protective angel.
And Her smile will be bright as a beacon in the dark;
Her eyes sparkling like diamonds.
And each time she takes your hand,
The heavy load you carry will be lightened.
