I am still a tiny bud, a small and unformed flower, nourished by your guiding love and growing more each hour. Every tender word you say, each kind and gentle touch, respects my childhood innocence and honours it as such. I listen and I watch you and I learn - just who I am. You're the lion of my strength and I'm your little lamb. If I'm scared, I turn to you, and when I find you there, I feel secure and safe from harm in your protective care. I have no bigger hero than the person that you are. You're my total universe and I, but one small star. © 2000 Terri McPherson Buckley This verse was written in dedication to: Council for the Prevention of Child Abuse of Windsor and Essex County You can purchase Royalty Free Photos from iStock Photo to create your own website graphics for as little as $1.00.
