Rest Stop

Trying hard at life,
Running to catch up,
Wanting to do everything right,
and not give up. 

When you are done
and need to breathe
just bring yourself
right home to me. 

Let your worries go,
because you can release,
the heaviness it takes
sometimes just to be.

Hang those boxing gloves
on the branch of that tree,
and walk in this door
and sit here with me.

Close your eyes.
Run my hands through you hair.
Go ahead and cry.
I promise no judgement here.

Let yourself be loved.
Remember that someone cares.
No more fight, just accept.
You have no reason to fear.
