Thank-you for listening little one,
for letting me explain my not-so-happy-mood,
and impatience,
at 3am.
When the world sleeps,
but you often don’t,
anxiety awakens a beast in my soul,
so incrementally threatening;
yet suffocatingly invisible.
And while I grind myself up inside,
for losing my cool,
you have nothing but compassion,
and still hold me close.
At only four,
you remind me that it’s ok to FEEL,
prompting me to recognise that we all have limits,
when emotional banks burst, exposing our rawest edges.
Why, here on earth, we are conditioned to feel such shame for being,
SO
DAMN
HUMAN?
My darling heart I promise,
that I will always make time to say ‘I’m sorry’;
to share with you my feelings,
and explain words said in haste.
We can teach each other,
as we travel this long road.
Thankyou for being my very best friend, for loving ALL of me, even when I don’t. You are the truest reflection,
of Gods grace-filled heart.
♡
