A Promise to Myself

I reminded her to look within,

that she is always loved.

I reminded her that each morning

birds sing a sweet tune.

And, that the sun is as reliant

as a dear friend.

It rises and morning,

brings a new.

What if I'm not enough?

She asked.

What will I do?

Stand tall

cast beauty

and heal the darkness

that ensues.

I responded, hesitantly.

What about when it hurts

too much?

When my heart aches

and to break would bring interlude.

It's in those moments

life reflects your strength

as you surrender to the knowing

you are

and

have always

been enough.
