.we make the world.

For you
We make the world
Safe
Secure
Shield(ed)
From threats and harm
Learn what we need to know
Become adept and best
steward for you
To grow
And so it goes
You grow
And go
Become more adept
Yourself
It shows
In taking more steps
Deeper breaths
Larger leaps
Further risks
Until it becomes
You
Creating the way
Facing the fear we shielded you from
Stepping into the world
Knowing it for its risks
And uncertainties
No guarantees
Knowing the joy
Abundant that follows wells of grief
That peaks precede valleys
That some dreams get released
You embrace every feeling
The sweeping of each wave
Each oncoming storm
Adorns your soul
With more wisdom and compassion
As you grow
And know
You go from running
To sitting still
Feel
It all
Though you feel so overwhelmed and small
Knowing your feet
More deeply planted
Roots in soil
Witness the trees
Unshaken by any breeze
Or universe sneeze
Rooted
And rising
We make the world
Embrace the surprising
with surmising
Trust
The flow
energy
Is good
And trustworthy
Never surly
Surely
Deserving
Of our arrival
No matter how fearful
No matter the threshold
We deserve
As does the world
Our persistent arrival
To make the world
For us and for you
All that it can be
Always anew.
