Are you passing on love or are you passing on pain? Heal your pain and pass on love.
Good morning. Sundays are devoted to poetry on the blog. Poetry is creative wordplay. Poetry is a way to try to explain the unexplainable with words, without limiting whatever it is, with words. In that sense, poetry is a paradox. Use a little bit of today to write a poem. Have a poetry workshop moment. It will be an excellent use of your time, I promise. Below is a poem I really like, written by Gregory Orr and also a poem I really like, written by me.
Yours
It’s taken me a lifetime to dust you off,
And to bring you home, and to nurture you,
And share in your joy at all of many of life’s little delights.
It’s taken me a lifetime to give you the acceptance,
And understanding, and compassion and care,
You’ve craved, and yearned for, and fully deserved.
Beating steadily, strongly, solidly forward into time,
I give to you my heart, my precious inner child,
For now I realize, it was also yours, all along.
