Inner Child |
She is there, lurking deep inside This is her safe vessel Until she feels safe and has something to say It is her wisdom I am learing to listen to I can be quiet and hear her small voice Although some days it is more difficult and I must strain to hear She tells me when it is time to play She is teaching me to laugh at my mistakes and myself She reminds me that life is fun and to find humor in everyday things She is kind, forgiving, gentle She makes it OK to be silly She reminds me to nurture myself and that it is all right not to be perfect She is showing me that I am worthy She is special and deserves my love and respect For all that she does for me, I don in return for her I protect her and love her She needs those things so desperately from me Her voice is quiet, but is getting much stronger I am giving her the means to speak and be heard I am empowering that wonderful and innocent inner child in me |
