It’s Done

It’s done, sweet Sarah.
All over, finished –
and we survived.
Actually, we did much more than that.
Despite the weight of the
layers of pain and fear,
we learned and loved,
wondered and wandered,
giggled and grew.
We thrived.
It’s time to embrace the fact
that you are not wrong, have never been.
Those scary experiences were real.
They did happen,
but not because of anything you did.
Nothing from those bygone days
can get you now.
What is true is that you are good,
I am good,
and together we can let
that part of our lives be over.
It’s done,
but we most definitely are not.
I am so excited to see what will come
as, together, we continue
to relax and let that big, bold energy
show its beautiful blossoms
as they stretch out into the light of day.
I will tenderly nurture all they contain
and let them show their true colors.
The sacred connection between
adult and child is right here within.
The sacred connection with whatever
you feel comfortable calling the Divine
is right where it has always been -
available, steady, real.
It’s safe, it’s right, it’s time
to trust in both
because it’s done.
