Innocent Child

** Image ID #1983250 Unavailable **

Innocent child
Raised in the shelter of the Craft
Ostracized by the world
That does not understand
That hides behind its fear
Pointing fingers and blaming
All that goes awry

Innocent child
Filled with potential
Honoured with the hum of magic
You are bound by society's lack
Of its rigidity and puritan values
It is quick to judge and condemn
Without considering its own flaws

Innocent child
Find your voice
Find your own place in this world
Where you can practice your craft
And conjure remedies
But still silence the haters
And banish them from your mind.

Innocent child
You are the next generation
The one we hold in hope and love
The one we put our wishes into
You will find a way
Beyond the prejudice and pain
To freedom and courage.
