I’m glad you’re here!
I love the way you fill the space
How gently you love
Your thoughtful reflections
How fierce you stand against injustice
There is a dedication to truth
Showing in the titles of the books you read
An exploration for more peace
More love
More spirit
In each living experiment you make
You try this and try that
And find out what works best for you
How careful you are to think of others
Don’t be weighed down by reproach
When you falter, son
Forgive and keep going
The road is long and mistakes
Will litter it like fallen branches after
A strong wind
Remember the still peaceful days
Where the path was clear and easy
Hold onto those and let the rest fall away
I’m glad you’re here in this world
Thinking and learning and living
Breathing and singing and giving
Take good care of yourself
And remember you are well loved
Much loved
Always loved
You are needed and necessary
There is room for you here in this world
Your insight, your views, your opinion
Thank you for being yourself
Thank you for being you
I love you
