I am doing all that I can as an adult to come to some understanding about situations that happened.

I am doing all that I can to give you space to express what you are feeling and
Experiencing and even all the confusion in order that you can now have some answers.

I am doing all that I can to make sure you have some answers
That you are not so confused and alone in your world
That you are being heard and being helped to understand what is happening
That you might know you will be able to have some choices.
That you won’t be left alone, helpless and frightened
That what you experienced was real and frightening

I am doing all I can to let you cry and to reach out to you and hold you as best as I can

I want you to know you are not alone.
I am sorry that I too have abused you, by hurting you by my actions
I did not know what else to do with you.

But now I know you are restless within
I recognize those signs, and want you to know
That I am going to be sitting in my chair
And I am going to wait for you and be with you
And I am going to give you time, and I am going to learn
To listen to you.

I sit with so many others and let them tell me things
About themselves
Today, and each day, I will sit with you
What is it that you would like to tell me today.
What is it that you would like to do today
How can I help you today to feel better?
Where does it hurt?
What makes you laugh and giggle?
What makes you feel safe and secure?
Loved and wanted.

I am doing all I can do as an adult to now help you
Come and be a part of me.
And part of my life….part of what is….not what was…….
Let’s go kick the leaves……and see if we can catch a snowflake in our mouths
Let’s go smell the flowers and tread quietly on the carpet of lavender
Laid out before us on the hills…….
And let’s have fun…….now I have found you…..
