Dear 5-Year-Old Self

Dear little one, please hear my voice
It’s not your fault, It was never your choice
Remember you’re worthy just as you are
Believe in that, it will take you far

You're not to blame, no not at all
You're precious and beautiful, so please hear my call
Believe in yourself and dear to aim
You are not a burden, and not a shame

You're seen, you're heard, and you're cherished too
Loved and protected, I promise it’s true  
Even when things are hard, my love
Remember that you, are a gift from above

You can shed all of those tears and release with a sigh
Cause you're not responsible for anyone’s plight
In your heart, you carry that grace
If you feel scared and alone, just go to that place

You will stand strong, in all your might
Make it through all storms and shine so bright
Let it go now dear child, come and feel my embrace
We’ll melt away the sorrow, till it has no trace


Written as a part of my healing process, after realizing how many choices in my life was directed by the experience of a five-year-old terrified girl.

Powerful, engaging, and deeply meaningful. Every child should hear that message, some need to hear it and believe it more than others. Love, peace, and blessings to you, CH,

I found the poem actually quite uplifting. I wouldn't know what that 5-year-old girl was going through by reading it. I guess that's the power of poetry. Well done.
