Message to the friendly care giver

Turning another leaf, as you go around the sun,
You might wonder and ponder, what’s going on?
Your purpose in life, and what you’re doing with it,
The days that pass by and the days yet to come.

A new leaf at this age can be quite taxing,
With the world in a pandemic, it is harder than usual.
While you work hard, to reach your dreams and goals,
What can I say to you, my friendly caregiver?

This is no advice, as the world has it in suffice,
Just thoughts and words, that could be soothing.
Do reach out to them, when you’re in need,
I’ll be delighted to know if this helped you in some way.

You are a dreamer, in this practical world,
And you might seem misplaced, and rightly so.
But the practical world, can’t exist at all,
If your kind was not born at all!

That is the power, of dreams and visions,
It is the one, that can contort reality,
Into ways and means, the non-dreamers can’t see,
And makes the impossible, possible by good means.

Dare to dream big, and dare to push your limits,
You don’t have to be, the dutiful adult you are,
Once in a while, listen to your inner child,
No one can be as selfless as an innocent child.

An empath at heart, you care for animals more,
For you say, that they behave better than people.
While it is true, in many many accounts,
I request you to not, shut your door on people.

Like the clouds that can hide the sun,
Many vices from humans, can hide humanity,
But do be strong, and notice humans more,
For there is still hope, and hope is not lost.

While you are special, special in many ways,
Do keep in mind, that you are a human too,
You have your own many quirks and flaws,
That makes you unique, and one of a kind.

Do show yourself a lot of kindness,
The same kindness you show to others.
Especially when you’re hurt and sad,
Especially when you feel inadequate.

There is an abundance of goodness around us,
And there is an abundance of evil too!
It is a daily fight, to preserve the goodness in us,
And it is tough, to fight darkness every day.

This fight is hard when your goals are different,
And even harder to convince, the unwilling hearts,
It is quite alright, to feel lost at these times,
With time and planning, you will surely win.

It is quite painful when hurt by the ones you love,
It can be scary, to trust people back again,
Do take your time, to heal from the pain,
And ask help when needed, we can sort it out.

When you feel down, sad, or lost,
Do take some time, and take it slow,
Give yourself time, to heal and recover,
Show yourself patience, to bounce back better.

Ash turns to Diamond, amidst all the pressure,
With support, you will become a diamond too!
So aim high, and take the chances and risks,
We’re here to support you, you’ll be fine!

Whenever you feel sad, and feel hopeless,
Do keep in mind, a simple metaphor in life,
Happiness and sadness comes in waves,
And as they say, waves don’t stay for long.

You have the strength, and power within you,
Take your time, and harness it with conviction,
A person of substance, you’re one of a kind,
An infinite universe, in a finite human being.

This is your life, my dear caregiver!
You have the right, to make it as you please!
Listen to your heart, for what is right and wrong,
And build the courage to follow it through.

Do surround yourself, with people who love you,
For they can either, make you or break you,
You care for others a lot, despite your troubles,
Do let the ones you love, take care of you too?

Don’t hesitate to shine, as radiant as the sun,
And dare to fill, the dark cosmos with light.
In your own pace, and in your own time,
For you are special, the child of the sun!
