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

John Watt April 25, 2020 at 1:45 AM 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. Line Gauthier April 25, 2020 at 7:14 AM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, John.

Eve Roper April 22, 2020 at 3:26 PM 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 Gauthier April 22, 2020 at 7:08 PM Dear Eve, thank you so much for your lovely comment and for pointing me to your husband's poem ~ how precious.

Quoth Theraven April 21, 2020 at 9:39 PM 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 Line Gauthier April 22, 2020 at 12:45 AM Thanks for your lovely comment, Richard.
