A poem and an exploration of Unconditional Love

I see you for who you are

The beauty you’ve had since the very start 
Something hidden 
to the naked eye 
when you seem lost in external highs 

I see who you truly are 

The depths of your soul 
The complexities that patrol your mind in moments you feel out of control 

It’s okay because I feel you

in the moments you're deep down, lost and alone
You have the strength to continue on the road that life put you on

¹

So that you can come back to what is real 
So that you could heal the lifetimes that came before you
 
This is what I know to be true

That you have a power within that shows from all you’ve walked through 
A courage to go beyond all that you were told you have to do 

This greatness lives in you 

This is what I know you’ll see to be true
when you look through my eyes 
You’ll see there’s nothing you need to look for on the outside 
Only see yourself with unconditional love 
and know that by simply being who you are

You are far more than enough. 

with love,

Emma
