Soul child

Your soul child needs you

She is the deepest truest part of you

She holds all the secret pain of your past

She holds your longing and the sadness of all your unmet needs

She is the one who can connect you to your source

Some soul children get covered in soot

They may be buried down so deep

It is hard to hear their cries

All we may feel

Are the unrequited needs and longings that reverberate

Along with the wish that others could save us or heal our pain

  But in the end

Although others can be there for us

And help us to know our soul child has value

We are the ones who must find and nurture him or her

And give them a special place in our hearts

Time

Attention

Affection

Caring

And a whole lot of love

To make up for all we missed or never received

Along the way
