“Inner Child”

What would you say if I told you, that you are,
What would you do if I told you, we are,
What would you see if you looked through my eyes,
What would you say if I sang,

Would you dance and sing with me?
Would you smile if you see me walking down the street?
Would you tare down the walls I built?
Would you share the light from your halo?

When darkness falls.
When the storm builds inside of me.
When the tears filter down my face.
When there is nobody else around.

Say something to lighten my dark.
Say something to quieten the storm.
Say something to dry the tears.
Say something I will hear you around me.

We enjoy looking through a lens at the world.
We love hugs and cuddles.
We love so deeply it hurts.
We care without restrictions.

We have come so far.
We are travelling together finally.

We are all that we should be.
We know that life isn’t fair.

With you I am safe.
With you I see your feelings.
With you my heart soars.
With you I am all of me.

Remember that you are going to cry.
Remember we can fly.
Remember that there are no guarantees.
Remember you are with me.

You will always be loved by me.

“An Angel”

I close my eyes; all I see is your smiling face.
I hold a rose; all I smell is you.
I put a morsel in my mouth; and it reminds me of the times I ate off your plate.
I giggle, the sound is so much like you.
I wrap my arms around me, and it feels like you hugging me.

You were there to kiss my pain away.
You cuddled me when the nightmares kept me awake.
You soothed my head when my temperature was sky rocketing.
You let me drink from your glass and then ordered another.
You smelled like vanilla ice-cream, when you wore your special perfume.
You showed me the world through a lens, and it is so wonderful.
You allowed me the smallest comfort in the world, with you saying, “I love you”.
You taught me that a single word can kick my tickle box over.
You showed strength to go on, gave me the courage to know that I am able to.
You saw the person I have become; I know you watch over me.

I shed a tear when I think of you not being physical anymore.
I know I shouldn’t though there is a tear always nearby.
I miss your physical hugs and cuddles.
I miss holding your hand as we walk side by side.
Mostly I miss you more than these words convey.

I look at the old pictures I have of you.
I listen to the voice messages you left.
I see you in my dreams; they are so full of reality.
I feel you near me; and it comforts me.
I eat vanilla ice-cream just to smell you.

You spread your wings every day, though I never saw them for what they were.
You glowed with the love you shared; little did I know it was more.
You showed me kindness, when I felt there was no more.
You left and I know it wasn’t easy, though you went to where you were needed.
You spread your angel wings one last time, and I knew you were one.

With one last hallelujah, you were home.
An angel who looks like you.

“Afraid I Am Not”

Music fills my inner child with love.
Sounds of nature ground my earthly child.
Waves crashing on the shore wave to my water child.
Soft wispy winds lift my air child’s wings so easily.
Solar flares call to the dragon in me to soar the universe.

I am not afraid; I am not afraid.

For the things I never said, I wish I had the courage to say them.
I saw the world through your eyes and felt every word come true.
I grew and knew that the world can be kind.
I understand that who I am is enough.
I grew and knew how much I love.

I am not afraid; I am not afraid.

Pour a dream and fill it with peace and love.
Pour a song so full of harmony.
Pour a kiss that will never leave my lips.
Pour a memory full of comfort and compassion.
Pour a drink so warm it will keep the chills away.

I am not afraid; I am not afraid.

Mamma you taught me how to love and filled me with kindness.
Daddy, you taught me that having something small is worth more than anything.
Sis, you taught me that somethings just match, and some don’t.
Brothers, you taught me that blood is always true.
Wife, Girl Friends and Friends, you taught me it is okay to be vulnerable.

I am not afraid; I am not afraid.

You have held my hand with every step I take.
You will never know how much I love you.
You are such good companions.
You have shown me that joy lives in the heart.
You fill me with compassion.

I am not afraid.

“I’ll Get Along”

Thanks for the precious time.
Thanks for teaching me to climb.
Thanks for the crazy times.
Thanks for showing me the world.
Thanks for the soulful sounds.

All I do is smile.
All I do is giggle.
All I do is tickle your fancy.
All I do is smell freshly.
All I do is play you a tune.

For the times I didn’t.
For the times I felt lost.
For the times I snuck away into my shell.
For the times I shied away from things.
For the times I cried for the deep pain inside.

Now is the time for my boundaries.
Now is the time for me.
Now is the hardest time to get along.
Now is the time to remember the small moments of joy.
Now is the time for laughter, joy and comfort.

I didn’t get along.
I did try to get along.
I would have given my tears to get along.
I shall miss those that didn’t get along.
I shall never forget how you tried to get along.

I don’t promise to get along all the time.
I do promise to get along within my boundaries.
I hope that we will get along, with love.

“Words Have Power”

Do you remember?

Those teasing words you said, they made me shy and uneasy.

Those words full of bullying, they cut deep wounds inside.

Those unkind words, they made me feel less.

Those words of jest, they weren’t funny to me.

The words “don’t cry”, makes me less vulnerable.

The words “you are big now”, makes my inner child feel unseen.

The words “walk away”, makes me anxious about people leaving.

The words ”turn the other cheek”, makes my body ache with anger.

The saying “sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me” they leave me hurt, haunt and break my confidence.

The saying “blue is for boys; pink is for girls” does little for lover’s pink and blue and colours don’t know the difference or even care.

The saying “get over it” does nothing to ease the pain, hurt and allow vulnerability.

The saying “it will make you stronger” it doesn’t always, it is also crushing and destroying.

The words of anger and revenge lives not in my mind, but in my body and causes untold pain.

The words of bullying, cut deeply into my mind and leaves insecurity.

The words of teasing, lives on in my inner child, sowing mistrust.

The words of unkindness made me withdraw and hide inside me.

Those words of kindness make me fill with joy.

Those words of encouragement make my confidence grow.

Those words of love make my bucket of love flow over.

Those words of comfort make me feel safe.

Words carry the power to be kind, uplifting and compassionate, choose yours carefully. 

“Four Seasons”

In the beginning the was none, Then the first was sprung,
Full of new life, bursting with colour,
Things abound with a spring in their step,
Flashes of bright colours,
Soft rain to soak into the ground.

A new change full of sunshine,
Deep greens, shades of indigo blues,
Thunder and lightning fill the afternoon showers,
The promises of new lings in the air,
Summery smiles, butterflies abound.

The change soon from green,
To rich reds, oranges and yellows,
Cooler mornings, chiller nights,
Harvest moon shining so bright,
Stars filled with promise,

Snowflakes on your nose,
Rosy cheeks, and frosted breath,
Greys, browns and whites fill the landscape,
Though you are the last, you are not the least,
As you draw to an end and the cycle begins.

Thank you all for your contribution to my years cycle.

“The whole of You”

You're worth it,
You are important,
You are enough,
You are strong,
You are wonderful,
You are beautiful,
You are Loved,

I am loving you,
I see your beauty,
I see the wonderful smile,
I see the strength in you,
I see you share more than enough every day,
I see the importance of you,
I know your worthiness,

I love you,
I adore you,
I appreciate you,
I care deeply for you,
I see you,
I hear you,
I am in love with the whole of you.
