Valued children

[JustBe]

Memories of times where presence aligned
Listened too, heard and seen
A child in your close proximity
Lives both yours and their, life dream

As you see and feel in your world
As you express and present what you are
Signals the world forming
Inside the child’s being, thus far

The struggles and demands of parenting
Are only the struggles you create and weave as you
Your presence to the child who’s valued
Will seperate this internal view

Through honest and willing self reflection
Through honest expression, they feel
Through actions that say’ I’ve got this’
Through actions they say, ‘this is real’

If you hide and contain what is
Think a child won’t understand
Think a child needs protection from the truth
You miss the links to its vital plan

The truth as you are, as the child is,
Right now as things are
Is a picture that only you can see
Slow down, acknowledge your part

Be the bridge that they can’t be
To reconcile and lead the way
By honouring the whole you see
Inside your broken play

The crossing requires a slowness
Even as the storm may seem out of control
Slowing down, breathing in
Letting everything in you be
Letting the child in this moment feel
What it feels and what it sees

Two individuals who matter
Because they care for themselves in this storm
When slowing down calms each one
Nothing is broken or torn

When peace becomes the movement
You move closer to your child
You move closer to yourself as one
You now both have reconciled
