Here is a little poem I wrote inspired by a short dream I had this morning where I was a child crying and being comforted. Hope you enjoy it.

If I Was Little Again

If I was little again and crying . . .
I’d want to be picked up
 and held  . . .  
Tears to be gently wiped 
 away and told it would
 be okay . . .
If I was little again
and crying . . .
I’d want them to say to listen
 to what my heart is feeling and to what
 it has to say
I’d listen real hard and hear it tell me I’d
 feel good and 
 soon would be out to play . . .
If I was little again
and crying . . .
I’d hear my heart say, “I’m here
 and will never leave you ―
 it’s what you can count on everyday”
If I was little again
 and crying . . .
I’d hear my heart say, “I
 love you” and I’d say, “I
 love you, too. Will you come
 out and play?”
