You taught me about being honest
With myself
Because I saw the weight of falsehood
Is just too much to carry
Thank you for that!
You taught me to get up and walk
Not let the fear
Get the better of me and keep me down
So I got up and walked
Thank you for that!
You taught me to forgive
The people who gave you
The wrong end of the deal
Because they were your very own
Thank you for that!
You taught me to be of high integrity
Because you were too scared
To have any
And I swore I wouldnt be like that
Thank you for that!
You taught me to stand up for myself
When I saw you wouldnt
I found reserves that
Every woman taps into within herself
Thank you for that!
You taught me to love
Passionately, fiercely, madly
And that it means nothing
Without integrity
Thank you for that!
You taught me to
Celebrate myself more
And cut off the chains
I put on myself
I thank you for that!
You taught me to look within
And see how i stopped myself
The thousands of ways
I held myself back from my possibilities
Thank you for that!
You taught me the power of words
To take one into breathtaking views
The power of the written and
That of the deleted
I cant thank you enough for that!
You taught me to be fiercely me
And reminded me
Of things long forgotten
So I could dream again
I thank you for that!
You taught me to step into new realms
And showed me the fears
And doubts that come up
“Lean back into yourself”
I thank you for reminding me that!
You taught me about change
When you called me a Healer
Years have gone by but
Every milestone, you share with me
I thank you for that!
You taught me about fierceness
Of the need for change and what you can do
Once you let go of the stories
And decide to write your own
Thank you for that!
You taught me about music
And how you can be friends
With little else
And yet see each other across time
Thank you for that!
You taught me
I thank you for that!
