Dear Inner Being

It is important to check in with one's self regularly with compassion. All of us are entangled in our day-to-day lives and often forget to recognize what all we endure to keep everything going. We must find time to nurture our inner beings. It is as important as taking care of others and fulling our daily obligations. This morning I took some time to do exactly that and I encourage you to do inkind! 

I love you, 
oh broken one,
I see your efforts,
I admire your strength,
I know your pain,
I feel your loneliness,
I have felt every tear
that trickled down from your eyes,
I also know the weight of those
that you swallowed back in.
I know your love for one and all,
I witness how you fill your
words with honesty 
and your actions with sincerity,
Even when no one sees you,
just like God,
I too see your beauty,
the gift of being grateful,
in the middle of suffering,
the art of smiling,
with a heart of full of sorrow!
Know that in the moments
of utter loneliness,
I am looking at you,
I will not judge you anymore,
I am sorry for being hard on you,
You are mine and I am yours,
Do not be dismayed and discouraged,
know that we will thrive while on earth
and make it home alright someday,
I love you, dear inner being!
