It’s the small moments
They build our foundation
Our sense of self
Our confidence
Our future
It’s when we are
Noticed
Seen
Admired
Accepted
Words have an
Energy
Vibration
Power
They affect
Change
In us all
And most importantly
In our children
In an instant
Overtime
They Build up
Break down
Our sense of
Self
Words like
Stupid
Retarded
Idiot
Lazy
Fat
Pig
Too skinny
Stop acting like a baby
What’s wrong with you
We brush them off
I was kidding
Didn’t mean it
Don’t take me so seriously
But they do
Deep down they do
They believe
EVERY WORD
You say
EVERY WORD
Would you say these words to a friend
Even in jest
After awhile
They won’t be
Your friend
Anymore
After awhile
They are not
Our children
Anymore
They become
Someone else
Carrying your
Words
Your energy
Vibration
Power
It’s the small moments
When we have
Opportunity
To say the words
We needed to hear
To See
The way needed to be
Seen
To Accept
Our children
Exactly the way we needed
To be accepted
Be the parent
To your children
You needed
As a child
When you
Mess up
And you will
Take a deep breath
Own it
Out loud
Change it
Move on
Be the guide
Be the light
Be the parent
Be the person
You have been
Called to be
It’s the small moments
They build our foundation
Our sense of self
Our confidence
Our future
They set the stage
For this thing
Called
Life
