Just finished reading a beautiful poem by Simon Starrie. Thought I'd share...
A poem to help those troubled in the small hours
I’ll hug you and hold you
shake off your fears and doubts
take your demons and cast them out
One by one they leave and its just you and me
Lay yourself down, and let yourself dream
Friends, some invisible, love you very much,
And while you sleep, they lend a loving touch.
You have qualities, hidden and seen
Drift away, let yourself dream.
You’ll be fine, everything will be okay
Let yourself sleep, and drift away.
Its dark but you have such colour,
It’s just you, but you need no other.
You’ve been through more suffering, than the hills have seen rain
Want you to know that I’ll be there for you, forever and again.
Nurture yourself to keep your soul strong
eat your favourite food, play your favourite song
There is a secret in you, a joy to behold
You’ll share it one day, your life is half-told
We understand you
We care for you
We will always see you through
Stay courageous
You’ll always have us.
So that was your darkest day, Your darkest night has just begun
You can’t even start to think you’ll make it to the morning sun.
The rain hits the window, your heart is in sorrow
Hang in there, together we’ll make it till tomorrow.
An early morning, a field’s summer dew,
We hung in there, we made it through.
So keep your light shining, your head rightly held high,
when things go wrong, shrug shoulders and sigh
The frost never came or that dark winter night
The sun’s up and rising, everything’ll be alright.
