A Love Poem
I am my mother now,
my sister, my closest
friend. I forgive myself
for everything, cancel
all regret. To whatever
I have to say, I listen.
When trouble comes,
along with pain and
sorrow, I remind myself
of all I have survived—
how brave I am, how
strong. I vow to cherish,
at every age, the body
in which my soul resides.
I eat when I am hungry.
When sleepy-eyed and
weary, I carry myself
as tenderly as a child, to
a place of rest. And when
lost or afraid, I say to my-
self: I will not leave you.
You are safe with me.
