Anything and Everything

Take a moment with this poem and the reflections afterwards. Ask yourself as you read it, “Who is speaking here?” And be open to whatever answer comes to you.

anything and everything

I’d give you a drink,

a warm cup of tea with lemon and mint,

a confetti cannon, roses from the garden,

my favorite sweatshirt, a bed to lay in,

homemade bread, a hand to hold.

I’d give you my full attention.

I’d give you my phone,

and say, put your number in.

I’d give you the melody line,

a standing ovation,

a sense of security.

I’d give you anything and everything

if it made you believe

that you were enough.

Write a poem that is also a letter. Address the letter to a past version of yourself. What do you want to say to the older version of you? What about life or faith do you know now that you didn’t know then? | @sanctifiedart
