When I was weary
My head bowed low
My body broken under the weight
Of trying so hard to carry these burdens
That were not mine
When I was so saddened
By all of the pain and suffering
I saw all around me
Caused by those
Who could not live at peace
Within their own souls
It was you who stood
Silently by me
Holding me
Even in those moments
All I felt
Was my empty soul
Falling through space
And even as I stumbled
Half way around the world
Lost inside of my deep confusion
Abandoned in my state
Of deep self forgetting
You loved me anyway
As you quietly watched and waited
Speaking to me and sending me messages
Even in dreams
Over all of those years
Never once did you give up on me
Never once did you turn away
Patiently you waited
For me to
Come to my senses
To wake from my sleep
To throw off false burdens
And quietly and ever so silently
You dried my tears
On all of those days and nights
I thought that I was most alone
Silently you watched and waited
For me to
Change my heart and mind
To turn back on what was untrue
To turn toward
And embrace you
Opening to the unyielding truth
You always spoke to me
Within the silence
You are my precious child
And you are loved
“…my state
Of deep self forgetting…”
Sigh💖
So beautiful

Putting someone else’s needs before our own, because they’re, having it worse than we are, shifting the focus we feel about what we’re weathering through in life, it’s, a great way, to divert our own attention, to shift the focus to something or someone not ourselves, and it’s, usually, quite effective, in alleviating the pains we are feeling in the moment…
Yes reaching out to helo another we both benefit..
