Dear Me

Kindness will come from
unexpected places.
You said so, I know you did.
So close your eyes and breath.
Tell yourself you are safe,
and not lost.
Try not to think of the cost.

Love and laughter can be
found in a strangers face.
So keep your eyes open.
Keep your head up to see.
Remind yourself of all the
places you've been.
This is all just another
then yet to be.
You'll see.

Happiness and hard work
really can walk hand in hand.
It's okay if you don't understand.
Just tell yourself you are safe.
Remember all the places you've been....all the places.
Close your eyes.
Breath.
