You are loved.
In the way you were shaped
From the fires of passion,
A building and formation of life.
A triumphant cry when you saw the light
A proud smile when you took your first step,
Uttered your first word, made your first friend.

You are loved.
In the way you draw breath every second
In the way you blink to chase droughts away
And when your face breaks into a grin,
I can feel the sun rise from a dark abyss.

You are loved.
In the way the wind sings your name
In the way that girl you love gives you her secret smiles
And when your feet hit the Earth with every step,
Like every heartbeat, in which the soil and grass have memorised.

You are loved.
Don’t you feel the sun kiss your cheeks?
Embrace the cold, and the warmth, and everything in between
Today, you shake hands with the rain and snow
Then you welcome back the flowers tomorrow

You are loved.
In the way you exist in this moment in time,
Every breath, every smile, every second of your being
A trace and footprint, a mark in this world
A world of many violent and jealous others,
Who scream and tear and drag you down

But can’t you feel the world,
The song and laughter and tears and whispers
Of every molecule in this planet, in this ******* galaxy?
They’re singing, shouting, chanting the same:
You are loved, you are loved
You exist and matter because, yes,
You are loved.
