Good night, friends. 🌙
Once, we were all like this.
With a small life held safely in our arms,
and a heart full of mercy pure enough to save the world.
We walked through life’s narrow streets without fear,
because we didn’t yet know pain,
we hadn’t learned cruelty.
Then we grew up.
We added “be careful” to our hearts,
built walls around our love.
We learned to be strong, to stand firm—
but along the way, we neglected compassion.
Maybe we didn’t lose our innocence…
we just covered it with thick layers.
Yet that child still lives inside us.
The one who isn’t afraid to love,
who heals by simply holding on,
who makes the world a softer place.
Maybe the issue isn’t growing up—
but remembering not to shrink our hearts as we grow.
Slow down a little today.
Be a little more understanding.
And hold the hand of the child within you, once again. 🌱
