Dearest Child

By Anne Kinsey, from Love is For All of Us

Let go and fly free-

Release to the wind

what is not truly you.

Embrace your essence

without damning inhibitions.

Don't hold back for fear

of those who despise rainbows

and stardust, and the magic of who you have always been.

They cower at your worth.

Hold my gaze, precious one-

Accept cozy warm respite,

celebration of your presence

in our fold of sparkling possibilities,

and delight that you have arrived.
