You are the Beginning and the End of All that is In Between
Just Show Up.
Tired. Hungry. Ready.
Or Not.
Just Show Up.
Hair did. Nails did. Fancy.
Or Not.
Just Show Up.
Needy. Whiny. Clingy.
Or Not.
Just Show Up.
Sad. Angry. Bored.
Or Not.
Just Show Up.
As Your Whole, Human Self.
Just Show Up.
All States of Mind
All Ways of Being
All Kinds of Feeling
Are Valid Worthy Perfect
No Need
to Complicate or Diminish
to Apologize or Qualify
Just Show Up
As You Are
As You Are
Here.
Now.
Five Minutes.
That is It.
Just Show Up
For You
First
You are the Beginning and the End
of All that is In Between
Just Show Up
For You
