You Are Precious Poem by Anita Atina

There are times,
When things get too much,
The pain excruciating,
Our heart cries out for relief!

In those time,
We oft turn to some opiate
In the hope that, the pain will lessen
With our senses dulled.

Knowing that our bodies,
Succumb willingly to transient relief,
Hiding from knowing that
There is no escaping the truth.

So when tough choices,
That often inhabit harsh reality,
Must be faced,
Know this, my friend.

You are important,
And influence the lives of many others.
You are not alone, and will always be accompanied
By quiet angels, who you meet in changing forms.

You are loved, and precious beyond measure.
A pearl in this world’s oyster
That lovingly yields to pain, and
Grows more beautiful, rare and strong

When the pain seems unbearable,
The temptation to withdraw into a protective shell
Seems natural, remember your shell
Also keeps the pain within you.

So my friend, stay open to love and light
That pours unexpectedly, if you are ready to accept them.
Cuddle into the womb of nature, and feel secure in the knowing
That the universe, loves you.
