Tell Me
Tell me everything
Everything you want me to know
Know I will hear your words
Words that slice or soothe
Tell me everything
Everything to unburden, to free
Free your mind to live, to love
Love yourself and tend to your heart
The prompt asked us to write about something we’re passionate about. So I asked myself this question from Natalie Goldberg: "What is it mine to do?"
This rings true to me. I asked myself about it yesterday with one of my older children. "Everything to unburden, to free/free your mind to live, to love/love yourself and tend to your heart"
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely what I tried to explain to my child. Hopefully I succeeded!
