Soul bean you have come and i thought you would go,
I thank you for coming with your laugh and your skip
To wake me up to the blessings of today
To how much I am needed as mother
To all the babies in this house, the 2yo, 7yo, 10yo, 12yo, 37yo (maybe not the 53yo, he can do that himself)
all bumbling through and through.
Strength is a tall thing.
It stretches me up at the most surprising moments
To stand my power and confidently be
What I'm needed to be
And I hear that 2016 is about continuing to polish up our lives to make them what we want them to be
To dust in the corners, unearth the ghosts of complacency
And watch as the beans planted by our desires and dreams take hold and soar
Oh please let it be true!
Is it all too much like hard work?
Can we truly have all of that?
Time will tell
And I will watch those beans grow
Tend and care for them
Like they're the gifts that they are.
Thankyou Soul Bean.
This journey of life is more extraordinary than I can know
