My heart was aching
For something lost
that never came into being.
I cried and cried
and felt better
But I forgot about my inner child.
She was afraid and sad
Keeping quiet.
She’s good at that.
And so I reached out to her
And asked her “How can I help”
She replied
“Just hug me …
Then let’s go play.”
And so we did
I found my inner sparkle
Thank you sweet girl.

Inner sparkle AND a sense of humor are great shock absorbers when dealing with the periodic potholes of life.

Aw. Very sweet. I am always happy when people listen to, hug and play with their inner child. So many people lose them somewhere along the way. I am so grateful that mine stayed strong. Often stronger than the adult, haha, which isn’t necessarily a great thing. I used to put her in situations that should only be for grownups. Thank you for this lovely poem.
