The Family Castle by Nancy Rakovszky

Our castle stands atop the hills
And offers strength of spirit
Place your hand little one unto mine
And I shall lead you to it.
***************
The family castle is now your home
The stones grow ever stronger
For the castle’s built on love and hope
Alone you are no longer.
*****************
Behind these walls that rise up high
Lies a garden lush and green
It’s offerings bountiful as the sea
And beauty yet unseen.
*******************
Drink the waters that beckon you near
They’ll fill your heart with hope
Feast on the knowledge offered here
For that will help you cope.
*****************
Our fires will fill your soul with warmth
To cast off the chill outside
Yet stay not here within these walls
They were not built to hide.
****************
Swing wide the gates so you can see
The world lie at your feet
For without what hides beyond
The castle’s incomplete.
*****************
Mount our stallion strong and true
For he shall be your guide
His legs have carried those of us
Who’ve ventured far outside.
***************
Fear not what you do not yet know
Lead on and find your star
Fill your pack with experience
That you shall gain afar.
**************
The good times will outnumber bad
Though sometimes you shall fall
It’s at that time that you should seek
The strength of the castle wall.
*****************
For no matter the path you choose to take
No matter the strength of tides
You need only look inside your heart
For that’s where the castle resides.
********************
Love Makes The World Go Round
