the fear I feel this morning
comes from losing my sense of purpose.
as my sons grow closer to manhood
my role in raising them
and the purpose I felt from being their
father, mentor, protector, responsible party
dissipates,
once again I must grasp a sense of my own worth
that is not tied to achievement or responsibilities
to anyone or anything outside of myself.
Am i worthy of serenity and self love
simply because I am?
I know the correct answer to this
but can I believe it
and learn to live from it?
The force that provides for me
and validates me unconditionally
will have to continue to remind me
of my divinity.
Slowly I learn to love myself
at all times:
good, bad or ugly.
