The object you see standing in front of you when you look at me...... it's a mirror. The reflection there is yours. Not mine. Before your time here is finished I hope you recognize that.
My flaws and failures our mine. For me to hold, to let go, to heal.
Your flaws. You're failures. Those are yours.
I no longer allow you to hold your past in front of me as if it's something I am supposed to take care of for you. Some obstacle in life I must overcome to be worthy in your eyes.
I am worthy. I am caring. I am love. That is what shall be passed down after me. My children will know love. Because they will understand they are love. They will understand love comes with miss steps and mistakes. They will understand some battles must be fought alone because only within ourselves do we know there is a battle. They will understand sometimes love is silence and calm so that there is a safe place to take cover from the chaos.
They will know those things. They will be those things. In part; due to you. You showed us all what the darkness looks like. Somewhere in there you managed to let the light in just enough for us to understand the dark was not our place. Even if it was comfort.
Today our paths part. Until we meet again. Hopefully, we will have learned what needs learning so that we can be at peace.
