Sweet and full of gratitude!
Thank you for letting me be
The person I was born to be
Thank you for understanding
And helping to set free
All of the trapped feelings that live inside of me
And for reminding me that everything I feel makes sense
Even when other’s say it is nonsense
Thank you for seeing deep into the heart of me
For bearing witness to scars and pain
Others may rather I gloss over or remain
Hidden
Thank you for the happiness you remind me
Is my natural birthright
For always supporting and understanding the little one in me
Who was often so desperately alone, angry, sad
Or deeply lonely
Thank you for letting this part of me live and express
So another part of me can learn to show it
Validation and tenderness
For all of this I say to you
From the very bottom of my heart
Thank you!
