Where did you get this disposition?
This calm, gentleness, loving soothingness?
Is it natural?
From where did you learn this?
Did a loved one hold you tight as a kid? When all your worries and fears would come and enter in?
Did someone keep you from all the things that could frighten you?
Shelter you from lifes winds?
The ones you couldn’t quite comprehend?
Soothing hands and gentle words?
What was it my friend?
What kept you?
What made you?
Produced and nurtured this within?
It don’t come naturally…
Someone cared enough, knew better…had the same kind touch..soft spoken words….to thwart any need to look for safety elsewhere….
