Am I strong enough to surrender,
Knowing what I resist will persist?
Embrace the overwhelming fear
that I might cease to exist.
What if I’m strong enough to surrender,
Wholeheartedly embrace the grief?
Let it move through me, knowing
on the other side lies peace.
My inner child surrendered,
Let me hold her in my heart.
Trusting the love surrounding her,
she felt safe to fall apart.
I have strength, enough to hold her.
The gentlest touch dissolves all fight.
She dances freely in the embers,
with pure innocence, joyful delight.
Now, putting pen to paper
brings awareness, fresh insight;
these words aren’t mine, they’re hers -
she’s the one who writes.

With deep gratitude to Jonathan, Robert, Ruth and Sharon who’s care and compassion created the safest of containers to support me in holding her. 💛
