I'm a Woman, Are You My Child?

I wrote this many years ago, after a dream I had about a baby who was myself

   

 

 

I may be a grown woman...in fact, I’m now considered a “senior “but inside I find so very often that I’m that same, scared little girl child who holds inside the recesses of my mind and heart many fears and pain from so many disappointments throughout most of my life.

My sensitivity is very strong. My tears are for 'what was never given and what I was afraid to give

because of the 'not givens'.

            I've grieved and cried many tears because I cannot go     back  and bring light into that shadowy darkness of the past.

              I have to keep fighting for the light of a new day letting the teardrops flow when they must for those dark shadows of

yesterday, trying to elicit the best in others and thereby in

myself       

 

Am I still that little girl child afraid to speak out, or am I that, brave, courageous woman I’ve searched for all these long, long years ?

I want to be a woman, without any masks and have the courage to say

and tell my truths, no matter what they are. I’ve learned we have to stand together my inner little girl child and I

I ask myself…

          “Who are you little girl?

             Am I you, or are you me”?          

           She said;"My name’s Patricia Ann what’s your new name”?

I said; “My name is Anne, I’m grown now. I’ll take your hand.

So come along and walk with me and we’ll grow up together

 but still have the fun and delights of children…not afraid to say and play. Hey, let’s call ourselves ‘Courage’, so what do you say, we go practice? I’ll be tall and you’ll be brave and together we’ll never be afraid.”

Wonder of a write we all look for ourselves at one time or another lucky are we who find us. This is (to me anyway) a nostalgic look back at what we once were and now have become beautiflly done and very thought provoking,
