i spent so much time resisting
work that has never felt like work
the pay, the energy, the time, the stress, the loans, the change, the sacrifice
all excuses
now i lay awake, grateful for this awareness
it's always been with children
sweet, innocent, growing life
eager, independent, bright, sincere
the life of a child is a beautiful scene
a movie i could watch over and over again
picking up something new each time
i used to think i'd only see it with my own
mothering my middle name
but now i know, even if i never mother
i will help those who cannot help themselves
tiny humans deserve every chance to flourish
being a witness, an observer of miracles
a guide for littles in need
is the greatest gift i'll ever receive in life
i hope i do it justice.
your life path will come to you when you stop resisting.
surrender.
pray.
rinse.
repeat.
xo.
