It's Ok Not To Be Ok

This meditative poem was written for a friend that has been going through a cancer battle. Her strength of character and openness about her situation, coupled with her generous and kind nature has been an inspiration. My wish for anyone with any kind of life challenge or major change is that they take the time to practice self-gentleness and let go of the need to hold in all those turbulent emotions. I hope this poem helps set you free - if only for a few moments.
Wishing you peace and love. Sandra

I see a chink in your armor and there is a light peeking through.

I see a sweetly quiet spirit that reminds me of beautiful you.

I see the pain you are feeling and how you are holding it tight.

I see that your touch is still gentle and your smile still radiantly bright.

I see how hard you are trying to keep everything tucked up inside.

I see that your eyes are still twinkling even if you feel ready to hide.

I see your love for all creatures and your family that you hold so dear.

I see your strength and resilience and your refusal to show any fear.

I see that I can be with you and show you that I care.

I see that I can't heal you but please know that I'll be there.

It's okay to not be okay.

Thank you for listening.

I'm Sandra Buckingham,

Sending you love.
