My Young Child

My young child,

My dear child,

I would love to tell you that you are safe right now.

I would love to put a warm blanket around you and keep you here.

I'm devoted to you,

I'm devoted to your heart,

I'm devoted to your tenderness.

My young child,

You were scared and you needed someone to hold you.

You needed warm hands around your gentle neck.

My dear child,

Your bones were shaking and you were asking for help.

My young child,

You were saved,

You were valued.

My young child,

Your skin is blossoming and you are arriving home.

My young child,

You are blooming freely,

Limitlessly.

My young child,

Your soul is singing and your body is following the rhythm.

My young child,

Welcome home.

Welcome to your body.

You are safe now.

You are safe in your body.
