I Still See You

I see you

wild and free

absorbing the wind

to help you breathe

so young

so innocent

a dreamer of maybe`s

a new shining star

You do not yet realize

your heart will go far

You have the strength

that is raw and pure

You have the strength

you will endure

Shine my child

never give in

Where one lesson ends

another begins

I`ve watched you grow

through the years

I`ve watched you

seen you, been you

within my tears

I can still see you

you`re no longer locked inside

Run my child

catch your breath

against the wind

for we journey now

together

until life`s end

Healing the child within. That child I hid and protected. I have brought her to the window and let her peer outside but I didn`t set her free, fully until the above poem’s completion, this very moment.

I believe that writing those things, I dared not say aloud, gave myself space. Space to look within and see how far I have come from that wee little girl. To see my strengths, my will, my heart still shines through it all.
