Rest, Little One
Rest, little one. You’re trying so hard
to carry all this weight,
to bear responsibility
for making things okay.
But try as you might, controlling life
is something you can’t do.
You’re not that big. Nobody is.
The blame is not on you.
So take a breath, then take a step
that to your heart feels best.
All else is out of your hands for now,
so let it be, and rest.
