This poem came out from the field after reading a post from Hand Free Mama and before I knew it, I was frantically pressing the letters on my phone and forming the words as tears streamed down my face. I do hope the words move you as I have been deeply touched while writing this.
For my love ones
Let me be your safe space
A haven in the turbulence of your mind
An anchor to your weary soul
A lifeline to your broken heart.
Let me be a space that calms you
When the winds blow you from side to side
Let me be the space that grounds you
When life gives you too much,
too deep, too wide.
Let me be a listening partner
A space where you run to in times of need
Let me be the cove you hide to
And I’ll shelter and guard you,
fend off foes and come to your heed
Let me also be the space that nudges you
The one that tells you it’s time
Time to dip your toes
Wade in the water
Feel the breeze
Embrace the chaos
Let me be the brave space that tells you
What your heart longs to hear and more
That life is filled with wonder
And that the world is there for you to adore
Let me be the brave space that piques you
That stirs your thoughts and curiosities
The space that allows you to ask and ask some more
The home that let’s you explore
And know that as time goes by
We’ll always find our way home
That grounding space that fills us with peace
That bubbling space that excites us to fullness
That part of me and part of you intertwined forever
Whether you are near or far away
Our hearts will always be together
For we’ve made each other
a safe and brave space to stay
