Healing With Care

Our Earth Is Healing

Our World Will Too

Our Souls Are Bruised, 

Battered Black And Blue

Yet Our Spirit Is Shining Through

At This Time

This Is Not Us,

This Is Not Who We Are

This Is Not How We Act

Like Strangers From A Distance, From Afar

This Is The Way It Has To Be For Now

To Keep Us Alive And Well

This Is How We Have To Do It, Be It

Don’t Let It Change Our Nature

We Are Known As A People For Our Warmth,

Our Kindness Oozes Through

We Are Kind Hearted Kindred Spirits To All

We Will See This Nightmare Through To The End

Without Losing The Essence Of Who We Are

What’s Innate To Being

A Human Being

Now Turn This Back Onto Yourself 

Be Kind, Loving And Forgiving, With Self Care

You Are Doing Your Best

This Isn’t A Test

This Is Life As We Live It Now

Let Go Of The Judgements, The Worries, The Fear

Live In The Moment

The Promise Of Now

Stop, Take The Time To Really Smell The Flowers 

Take In Nature’s Natural Breath

Breathe It Deeply Into Your Soul

Allow Yourself To Rest

Marvel At Its Beauty 

Its Ability To Stay Whole While

Adapting, Adjusting To Change

Now Apply This To Yourself 

As You Face Another Day

Your Inner Strength, Your Determination, Your Resilience 

Will Keep The Negative Thoughts At Bay

Enjoy Your Day, Your Gift, The Present
