May I always be a place 

Where you are seen through eyes of peace

And given enough space 

To bring about your own reckoning 

To allow your heart to open up 

To the possibilities beyond fear. 

May I always be a place 

Where your hurting will be tended to

And your grief embraced

For all that you think it is

Expressed however it comes

Enduring until its rage becomes a sigh. 

May I offer you a place

Where your heart can be held 

With empathy and non-judgement 

Where an open mind listens 

And allows you to be heard  

No matter what you fear you’ve done. 

May I offer you a place

Where all your shame and guilt

Can be washed away

In the cleansing water of acceptance 

Where you can release every burden

And remember your soul’s perfection.
