Just
to introduce my first addition to this page....
About
6 years ago I was going through a very traumatic time.
I joined
a group called A.MA.C. (Adults Molested As Children)
and
we spoke of the "Child Within".
Later when I was stronger and physically healed from an accident, I went to a wonderful counselor named Skip.
She hypnotized me and took me back to meet the child had left behind at three years old.
I found
her sad and lonely,
bedraggled
and scared. I leaned down to love her and we both
cried
our hearts out. Skip taught me how I could love her and protect
her
which at three I could not do. So I kept going back to visit her
and
saw
her flourish and grow. This was the best gift I had been given and
has done more to help
me heal even at 49 years old.
So when
I say this
it touched
me as no other poem has you will understand why.
Today I found my Child Within
Loving,
embracing - - needing so much
if only I could reach in and touch.
I did not know this child
of mine
We were
Never
acquainted at three or nine
But
Today
I felt the crying inside
I'm
here, I Shouted---
come reside
We hugged
each other ever so tight
as feelings
emerged, of Hurt
and
of Fright.
It's
okay, I sobbed. I love you so!!
You
are precious to me, I want you to know
My child,
my child, you are safe today.
We laughed,
and oh god how we cried,
it was
a discovery
This warm, loving child, is my
Recovery.
So I
will take each day, one at a time
For
my inner self to become truly mine."
