May I share something with you?
Do you mind if I speak?
May I hug you? May I hold you?
Just ask! What do you seek?
Do you care if I’m near you?
Is my presence too much?
How close can you tolerate?
Violation destroys trust.
It’s an honour to sit with you,
Witnessing laughter and tears.
Holding space with compassion
As you courageously face fears.

Safety is not the absence of threat, it is the presence of connection.
