i am tending to the garden of
my s e l f
i will welcome tender sunlight
on my dried and brittled leaves
i will allow myself to sip
gulp at the waters
which nourish me
i am parched – i will drink
i am tired – i will rest
i am hungry – i will eat
but most of all– i will give my
s e l f
the
s p a c e
to
g r o w.
