Safe and Loved

For the Little One
in you,
who kicks and screams
when something new,
who wants to test
how far to go,
until your hug
brings Peace,
brings Love –
do you not soothe
the Little One,
saying,
You Are Safe
and You Are Loved?

For the defiant Teen
in you,
that questions everything
you do,
this one is creative
and pushes you,
but like Little One,
needs much love, too –
no matter the attitude,
does not Teen
need assurance, too?
Yes, You Are Safe
and You Are Loved.

And hello to you,
the Grown-up one,
who you think
the answers,
you “should” know,
but are you not
the same
as Little One
and Teen,
all looking for Love
and Strength
to come in?

Can you not all
join hands,
link arms,
Be One,
with all of the
aspects of You
that wish to feel
safe and loved?
As you accept
and Love
all parts of you
that want the same,
do you not see
that others
around you
want this, too?

Can you embrace
the Little Ones,
the Teens,
the Grown-ups, too?
Do not the souls
of All
know what Love
can do?

Can you shine
your Light and Love
to All,
that says,
“I Love You?”

No matter who
you “think” you are –
You Are Love
and
I Love You.

You Are Safe
and You Are
always, always
Loved.
