Letter From Inner Child and Reply

come find me please
i need to be heard
i need to be loved for who i am
take care of me - i need nurturing
look after me as i spread my wings

i’m sorry i’m here i hear you
be yourself and never change
never lose track of your dreams
your zest for life is your edge
explore and enjoy
it’s what life is all about
don’t give up on me
i can be better
i love you just the way you are
always and forever

I was drawn in by your wonderful title and held captive by this inner dialogue. I think it's one we should all have, especially as poets. Thank you for this inspirational write, Line.

This poem is very touching, a feeling I myself have felt, but I even heard these very words mention out of my husband the months and weeks before he passed. He even wrote the poem "Angels in Flight" for Victor Buhagiar . https://www.poetrysoup.com/poem/_he_took_his_last_breath___1055810 You have really touched my heart by reading my poems, Line, thank you. Hugs Eve

Line, This is a very nice letter. Is it easier to ignore Peter Pan and the Wendy Bird? “Second star to the right and straight on 'til morning. ” ? J.M. Barrie
