Sometimes I Wish…

Sometimes I wish I could wrap my heart around the world.

Sometimes I wish I could heal every hurt.

And soothe every fear. And hold every hand.

And whisper ‘You’re never, ever alone.’ in every ear.

But I can’t. So I’ll do it right here.

Because love can travel anywhere.

And kindness costs nothing.

But could change absolutely everything.

I want you to know that your presence is a gift.

I want you to know that I understand what it’s like to feel hopeless.

But there is always hope. One breath at a time.

One step at a time. Side by side or miles apart

We can move forward together because we belong to each other.

You and me – we can do anything.

Sometimes I wish I could wrap my arms around you.

Sometimes I wish I could climb inside your troubled mind.

And ease your self-doubt. And help you see your light.

And remind you of your beauty inside and out.

But I can’t. So I’ll remind you right now.

Because there’s no distance between us.

And time does not exist.

So maybe, I can travel back to the me that needed reminding, too.

I want her to know that life is worth living.

I want her to know that dreams are worth having.

And that one day, even if some don’t come true,

She’ll be able to say ‘It’s OK, because I am here.

Wrapping my heart around the world. Around us.

And maybe, I wouldn’t change a thing.’

Loving you

Anna
