Blessings……

So many facets

so many needs

all wrapped up in one package

that defies understanding.

But do I need you to understand

if I am being me?

Babygirl 

sweet

sassy

crawls for Daddy

when made to beg

loves to be cuddled

loves to be held…..

Independent

fiery

take on the world

stand on my own two feet

needing help from no one…..

Mother

strong

loving

teaching right from wrong

watching with delight

as my child grows.

Child

sweet girl

hidden within

she only comes out

when safety is found

most of the time

she does not appear.

Woman

beautiful

emotional

longing for love

longing for companionship

walking this path alone

now and forever more.

How have I integrated 

all these parts of me?

Not easily.

Not without exposing

darkness of self.

Exploring each side.

Exploring each pain.

Each fear

each desire

examined

a lesson

and life goes on…..

I am a better being

for learning myself this way.
