Ode to My Inner Child

By Jewel Grace, November 5, 2020 —

My heart belongs to you, small inner child.
I watched you struggle in your place of darkness.
I’m here to embrace you, comfort you, my child.
I watch as you stumble along, bringing you words of encouragement.
Carry on, little one, keep growing, beautiful soul.
Come, tell me what sadness is leading you down your dark path of self-destruction and self-abuse.
Shielding you with my heart of compassion, I see you now growing toward the light.
My heart belongs forever to you, little child.
I embrace you, my sweet little girl.
