Confident Sensitive Child - Denison Witmer

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
