Only I

Only I

Can make the choice to live

Only I

Can take the steps each day

To bring my soul

Peace

In the past

Loss of the way

To my own path of inner knowing and truth

Left me both

Bereft and helpless

But now I am no longer a child

Even as I appreciate more and more

That starry being that lives

Deep within my heart

That sacred place

Where she can never be

Torn apart from love

Only I

Can choose to love her

Can choose to hold her hand

Only I

Can encourage her

Only I

Can find the peace and sweet relief

Of allowing her to be

Exactly who and where she is

Allowing her space, time

And countless opportunities

To birth, expand

And fully breathe
