Harbour…

There are so many friends and family members that are going through hard and challenging times. I too have all sorts of different challenges on my plate. I think it’s important to let yourself be and do whatever it is that you can, without putting the additional pressure on yourself to achieve anything.

Sometimes, we just need a safe harbour to lay down our anchor and rest, before we continue on with the journey ahead. That’s ok.

This is a poem dedicated to anyone who is feeling the pressure, anyone who is going through a hard time. You can get through this just you wait and see.

 

My darling, I know how afraid you are,

Of the tides and the unknowns

There is nothing I can say to make it better,

I can’t carry your pain away or change the weather.

My darling, sometimes we must carry the shadows,

We must swim through the waves and sink in the shallows,

There isn’t much we can do when pain comes knocking on our doors,

But when we let it in, we don’t have to build it a home.

My darling, there are times where things may be hard.

But have faith knowing, that you will get through the dark.

There are highs and lows, ups and downs,

But life is a rollercoaster and sometimes a merry go around.

There are things we cannot change,

But we can learn to dance underneath the heavy rain,

My darling, the heaviness you feel in your heart,

Was placed there to help you reach for love,

There is always good in the world, if we pause and see,

That all this change and turbulence will not make you weak,

My darling, rest your head and close your eyes,

Today you may be tired, but tomorrow you can continue the fight,

My darling, be strong as we walk through this terrain,

We don’t know what we’re doing, but no matter what our love will remain.

 

 

Love Always,

M
