As a new school year begins, may all children be free from bullying, and know that they are love and loved~

Rhyme for the Sensitive Child

 

‘Don’t take things so personal’

You hear them say

But child I know

You don’t see it that way-

For I know that you feel

Deep like the sea

And when you are hurt

You long to be free from this world-

Yet I’m here to tell you

From the wisdom of years

From trying to fit in

And hiding my tears-

That you are so

Amazing…

That the gifts that you bring

Make this world better

And if Mother Earth wrote

She’d write you a letter of love…

For you rise above injustice

You rise above hate

You speak up for fairness

With all you create-

So I know it is painful

To be you at stages

I know you seek meaning

Like words on blank pages

Yet I’m hear to tell you

You’ll find what you seek

And your sensitive soul

Makes you stronger, not weak-

So be brave young friend

And let your light shine

Look in the mirror

And see the Divine within-

For then you’ll begin

To live from the soul

Break open the heart

And mend the hole… story

Beginning, middle, and start

The art of the matter

Away from the chatter

And into deep peace-

So release all your hurt

Send it into the Earth

Let go the old

So the new can give birth

For this is my reason

To leave you this rhyme

To tell you you’re needed

And now is your time~
