Paul Bell

The Sacred Child

The sacred child on the hill

Buried deep but never forgotten

River of tears

Washed along into an ocean of deep longing

Years pass by

The girl becomes the woman

Relationships begin and end

Happiness brings a new journey

A baby in the making

Driving out old thoughts

Touching her stomach in repentant hope

Sadly, hope dies in the womb

Guilt turns to punishment from above

The sacred child on the hill

Watches the figure coming towards her

Slowly entering the river

Washed along into an ocean of deep longing

The sacred child on the hill

Reunited for evermore..
