These Things I Need

 

These Things I Need

 

There are things I need to see.

 

I need to see you winning
     when you win, I know I can too.

 

I need to see you dreaming
     when you dream, I give myself permission to.

 

I need to see you giving
     when you give, I want to give like you.

 

I need to see you failing
     when you fail, I know it is okay if I do.

 

I need to see you get back up
     when you get back up, I stand up strong and brave.

 

I need to see you crying
     when you cry, I know crying is good.

 

I need to see you smiling
     when you smile, I smile wide with you.

 

I need to see you loving
     when you love, I love all the more.

 

I need to see you doing these things
     because when you do them, I cannot fail.

 

We often don’t get real with others about what we need or want either from them, or for ourselves. I wrote this poem as an encouragement to myself, but also a reminder to be real with others and give others a chance to express what they need from me.

 

From My Heart to Yours,

Marcie 🙂
