Gently, softly

Go gently
Go softly
And be kind to yourself
Allow the tears to flow
They are the salve to your soul
Let the words spill out
They heal the wounds
Watch and listen
Be one with your world
Be calm
Be still
Be at peace
Embrace the change
Mourn the loss
Put one foot slowly in front
of the other
Don't bite off more than
you can chew
Don't force to do more than
you can do
Just be
Just crouch
Amongst the grasses
Amongst nature
Or be alone
With your thoughts
And hurt your hurts
But don't forget
To smile your smiles
To count your blessings
To pick yourself up
And to keep on going
Along this path
Called life.

Go gently
Go softly
And be kind to yourself
