i will not hold you to
who you once were
i will be here
for time to make you new
over and over
a home for your soul
to find its
true self

About the Creator
Kristen Balyeat
Words fly to me on the wind, bump into me as I'm strolling the city, splash me in the face while I rest by the river, and shake me awake in the middle of the night– I’m humbly one of the many vessels they use to come to life.

Beautiful sentiments!!
An answer to what is love ❤️
I love this and the picture you chose
Excellent 🙂
That's really lovely. We should all allow those we love to change or to not change... to be free of our expectations and full of our love 💙Anneliese
Awww, this was so sweet! Love is patient! Loved your poem!
The concision and precision are great, acceptance and nurturing roundly stated. Nice work!
This truly is short & sweet, and perfect.
Beautiful poem
Loved this. Change is a part of life. We all need to accept this.
What it is to grow old together. Thank God we're not the same people we were when we first got married! I was an idiot! (Okay, I'm still an idiot, but at least it's of a different kind.)
Succinct and simultaneously eloquent! This is gorgeous!
Beautiful poem about change and acceptance Kristen 😊
