The encouragement to be my best 
By Michelle Morris
07/03/2024

I didn't want you to save me
I just wanted a helping hand
I didn't want all the answers
Just advice and understanding

Because sometimes we just need solace
Some shelter from the storm
A friend to lean on and listen
While we work through our journey home 

A reflection of honesty and support
Guidance and wisdom and perspective
When we're too close to the fray
We can get lost and it feels distressing 

So, remember that there's no need to save me
I'm not a damsel in distress
But I appreciate your kindness and patience
The encouragement to be my best

Dear Michelle, Your poem speaks volumes about the power of kindness and support in our lives. Your words echo the truth that we all need guidance and understanding, not to be rescued but to be uplifted. Your reflection on the importance of solace and friendship during life’s storms is deeply felt. You eloquently show true encouragement comes from a place of patience and acceptance, not from the desire to save. What a great beacon of honesty and wisdom, guiding us towards our best selves. Very Inspiring! blessings, Daniel
