Reassure Me – Written Sunday 2nd July 2023 (Aged 48)

Reassure Me

reassurance
i know that’s what i need
just a little,
‘well done’ here and there
someone,
who says they care
enormous change is never easy
it’s out there,
and it’s feeling queasy
outwardly,
be bright and breezy
reassurance
i know that’s what i need
just some kind words here and there
whatever is left,
whatever is going spare
whatever can be shared
perhaps,
those words –
do not arrive often enough
perhaps,
i do not register their touch
perhaps,
those words can never be enough
perhaps,
i expect far too much (I do)
but,
reassurance is what i need
in me,
please believe
