Softly Now

Softly now my sweet,

No need to push or rush.

You feel the unrest coming

Sparking memories of what’s been.

Did you catch the fear this time,

And soothe your heart with kindness?

You still can.

You are worth it.

Softly now my love,

Is this heaviness yours to hold?

The winds have begun to blow,

Let them carry the worries away.

Take the next right step for you

Trust your heart will guide you.

You still can.

You are worth it.

Softly now my friend,

Could you use a hug?

So easy to get lost in your mind

Want to reach out and be held instead?

Do the rights and wrongs really matter

With so much love to be shared?

You still can.

You are worth it.

Softly now.

This moment.

Just as it is.
