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.

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.
So glad you enjoyed this tt 💛

My name is Val Boyko, a dual citizen living near Philadelphia, originally from Scotland.
This blog came to life one morning in 2013. I woke up with these words in my mind: “Life is a series of highs and lows. Be grateful for the highs. Be graceful in the lows. And find contentment in your Middle Ground.”
Find Your Middle Ground blog started to explore, reflect, ask deep questions, share insights about awakening, and connect with wonderful people like yourself. Thank you for being here and being such an inspiration.

I’d love to hear from you …
