Will you take my hand?

Will you take my hand and come with me?
Come, one step at a time
Put one foot firmly in front of the other
And look around you as you do
Let me tell you a secret as I take you away:
You are worthy. That is the secret.
As you leave, take that flower with you
Let it grow between the cavities of your heart.
The flowers are not silly, and you are not silly,
Let your heart feel what it wants to feel
And your mind think what it wants to think,
Let yourself be what you must.
Come along with me, the day is rising
It is no longer night and you are no longer by yourself
Not completely, not when I am right there with you.
Step into the sunlight, feel it caress your light-hearted skin
The seasons have changed and will change again, and so will you.
Come, I will remind you every day
That you are meant to be happy
And you are meant to be free.
And as you walk, my dear, I hope that you see
That though the road seems much more lively when
There is somebody to share it with, to hold your hand as you walk
And you may never want to be walking it
Alone again, fearful of the darkness that may envelop you
‎‎‎⠀⠀⠀My darling,
Do not surrender yourself fully to the hands of others.
‎‎‎⠀⠀⠀My darling,
‎‎‎⠀⠀⠀‎‎‎⠀⠀⠀‎‎‎⠀⠀You are all that you need in this world.
