Here, take my blessing…

Here, take my blessing…
It is good for when your world starts falling apart…
It will calm all the fidgeting, muttering and the echoes of gossip…
It will save you from shrinking away all together.

It is a blessing to remind you…
That you are just passing through the thickest part of the forest…
Most of your worries are merely trifles…
That you have unlimited moments to share…
That the sun will soon dissolve the light grays and rain.

Can you hear my blessing buzzing?
The high-pitched harmonies?
The wind washing over you from every distant shore?
The gentle, easy patience?

Now, is time for building…
You know, we must be continually be building ourselves…
Because when we go down in a terrible pit…
We will not come up as someone else.

Now, rub my fluffy head…
Take from me bravery and courage…
Put on the harness and pull yourself back up…
Sorry, I can’t pull you past sorrow or grief…

Do I look like a sled dog?

I love you,

Annie
