Holding Space

I am holding space…
For light to come.
For gentle nudges.
For words of kindness.
For new beginnings.
For love to grow.
For treasured friendship.
For stories yet told.
For listening close.
For last goodbyes.
For an unguarded heart.
For the full weight of loss.
For grieving deeply.
For angry weeping.
For lonely aching.
For wild wrestling. 
For limitations.
For growing slow.
For letting go.
For standing firm.
For battles worth fighting.
For forging forgiveness.
For beauty hunting.
For possibilities unfolding.
For creative wonder.
For God-sized dreaming.
For smiling faces.
For a hand to hold.
For a warm embrace.
For redeeming grace.
For joy to dance.
For a heart that laughs.
For child-like play.
For hands of healing.
For fresh hope rising.
For freedom unfurling.
For peace residing.
I am holding space…
to be held, to be loved,
right here, in this place.
