Older poem of mine (January 2021)
BRAVE BEGINNINGS
Brave, beautiful girl
A New Year has emerged
A fresh, clean slate
Perfect for growth and new beginnings
You struggled
You persevered
You overcame
You conquered
A restoration of health and healing awaits, but fear not!
Everything you need is already inside of you
You are strong and courageous
You are capable
You are resilient
And you are not alone
Every challenge you face, you willl confront
And your struggles will turn into strength
Remember this when your faith falters or your willfulness wanes
You can do this
Persevere
One more day
One more hour
One more minute
And then repeat
Keep taking those sturdy strides
Don't worry if you backtrack, or even retrace your steps a hundred times over
Be patient with yourself
Make it part of the dance!
Forward is forward, no matter the speed
Or how tiny the steps ??
