Reminding myself that I always have
and always will.
No need to worry, no need to fret,
no need to bite my nails,
nor lie awake, nor forget,
in clammy doubt wasting
sleep-time on negative imaginings.
I make positive probabilities
more certain and real.
I am calm, I am kind, I am fun,
brave and generous too.
Smiling more than most
I see the good in everything you do.
Deep breathing with a cheerful heart,
I’ll fight your corner, feel your pain, make you laugh.
I am a ‘doer’, a helper, a friend.
I align my thoughts to health.
I let go and I love, dancing in rain and on the edge of a cliff.
Silence is better than to deliver a curse,
I like to smile and to listen.
Encouraging others to be the best that
they can be. I am a mender,
a maker of things and
I am mindful of my consumption.
I plant trees,
sing songs, make tea and play
simply and fairly.
I will be as I am
the intuitive, the sorter, the lover of life, the mender of minds,
the ideas person, the performer, the woman of warmth, the
cooker of dreams and the giver of time.
Yes, I can,
so I will.
