The Magic Cape

My mother was the single most important relationship of my life. She was my mentor, my protector, my best friend and my late night cookie party girl. When she passed earlier this year I had no idea how I was going to be ok without her in this world, I really had no clue as towards the end she was my reason for being, I was on a mission to rescue her and heartbreakingly, we couldn't get her home. She taught me how to take care of myself and stand up for myself, she was my voice of reason and the person I would call with any news that meant something to me. She was always there and would always be there until she couldn't be. I have learned from wise friends that I can be ok and though it hurts so much it wouldn't hurt if we didn't have equal parts love. And now after reframing our relationship she is always with me, everything she was and everything she taught me will always be here..like the magic cape. I want everyone to have one.

Magic cape,

If I gave you a protection field,

I'd want to call it a magic cape.

Take everything that your mother taught you,

Everything that she did to protect you,

Everything she did to make you feel strong and loved and good,

Put it on,

Put that cape on,

Let it protect you from the sheer madness of things that you can't control,

Things that affect you in a way that hurt you.

I bet your mom never hurt you.

I bet your mom stood by your side.

I bet your mom told you that you could do it.

I bet your mom said,

Here I am,

Come towards me.

First walk,

First talk,

First step into the unknown,

First hug from someone that made you feel safe and comforted,

Validated,

And loved.

Tap into that energy.

Tap into your super mom power.

She loved you.

She will always love you.

She's not gone,

She'll always be here,

Cheering you on,

Waiting on the sidelines,

Waiting at the finish line,

Following you like a magic cape,

That protection,

That strength that gave you that desire and that energy and that feeling,

Knowing that you could do something.

You can do it.

Tap into that magic cape,

Tap into the magic words of your mom or someone that loved you beyond anything you've ever known,

And whenever you need it,

Put your feet towards the floor,

Let the earth support you,

Let the world encompass you into this loving,

All-knowing power that can keep you going.

It's there,

It'll always be there.

You just have to turn it on.

The power of the magic cape can always be your refuge.
