My Child Within I found my child within today, For many years so locked away, Loving, embracing, needing so much, If only I could reach in and touch. I did not know this child of mine, We were never acquainted at three or nine, But today I felt the crying inside, I'm here I shouted, come reside. We hugged each other ever so tight, As feelings emerged of hurt and fright. It's okay, I sobbed, I love you so! You are precious to me, I want you to know. My child, my child, you are safe today, You will not be abandoned, I'm here to stay. We laughed, we cried, it was a discovery, This warm, loving child is my recovery.
Thanks for sharing this little "poem-ette" of you finding your inner child. I honor my inner child always and often have to reassure her.
Even when things are going well and there is no imminent danger... she wants to crouch in the corner trying to hide and she holds her breath so that she can hear better what is coming... Sadly - how many years have gone and yet she is scarred and filled with angst so easily.
However - my inner child and I have this higher power that reassures us daily in so many different ways. Sometimes I remind her of this and sometimes - she reminds me!! :)
You have no idea how this has touched me today. It is a subject that has been on my mind. My inner child often crouches in the corner. I am learning to take her into account in everything I do. This helps me to admit, feel, and get past my fears.
Thank you for this beautiful post.
In recovery,
