A Letter to You
June 25, 2021
Listen, dear one, listen close:
I have some advice for you.
And though I am still quite young,
I’ve learned a thing or two.
When the world is cruel and your soul hurts;
When you’re crying on the bathroom floor;
When you feel as if you’ll rip out your heart
And shove it in a drawer,
Stay gentle, stay soft;
Do the best that you can;
Spread kindness instead of hate.
It may be hard, but I now know
That rage only deepens the wound.
© Amy B., Alabaster, AL
