Ode to Myself

Be still and know that I am ok
Allow my friends to love me
We all have our chinks and don’t want them to show
But it’s human and pleasing to know
That I can relax and let life flow
Not everyones out to hurt me
Be open and free, like a bird in a tree
My friends allow me to be
Cause I learn and I grow
And in time life unfolds
there're so many things I don’t know
And everyone has wisdom to offer

to open my ears, my eyes and my heart

and receive what I'm given today

be grateful for changes that crack my facade

these changes bring change of heart
