Relax.
Be gentle.
Be loving
with you.
Like a leaf
reaching up
to catch a drop
of rain,
will it not hold
what it needs,
letting the rest
roll off,
to be soaked up
by another leaf,
maybe the roots,
the ground –
can you relax
in the knowing
that you need not
take in everything?
Relax.
Be gentle.
Be loving
with you.
Like a daffodil
that springs up early,
always when more
snow may be
on the way,
but does this early
sign of Light,
not give hope
to still-dark days,
when it freezes,
when the snow falls
nesting in the
green of life –
can you find comfort
in the knowing
that All Is Well,
seasons will change?
Relax.
Be gentle.
Be loving
with You.
Do your best
in any circumstance,
any situation
that comes your way,
you often are your
harshest critic,
now can you give
yourself a break?
Let the rain
run off you now,
let the sun melt
any snow,
rejoice when blue sky
gives you hope
and the springtime bulbs
begin to grow,
can you feel Love
in the knowing
that You Are Loved
no matter the season
you are in?
Relax.
Be gentle.
Be Loving
with You.
