Safe to develop into oneself
Is one in which
The blame game
Does not pick up steam
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
Anger is re-channelled
And expressed in healthy ways
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
Insults, flung care/lessly around
Are consciously reduced
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
We hold ourselves accountable
And say sorry for our mistakes
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
The spirit does not fear or suppress
A rainbow of emotions
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
Our spirits sing with joy for each other's successes
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
Confusion or tears of sadness
Need not hide behind denial's smiles
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
Fears are openly aired and support is consistent
Until courage is mustered and issues resolve
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
Consequences fit the 'crime'
At times when rules of conduct are forgot
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
The value of self control develops
Within one and all
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
We all know
What to expect
Until
Something
Flies in
From
Out of the blue
Our apple cart tips
And a shocking trauma
Causes each of us
To reevaluate
The rules, which have guided our lives—thus far
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which
An open minded sense of learning is on-going
And growth toward necessary change is embraced
A home, where each feels
Worthwhile, loved and safe
Is one in which—ALL—admit to making mistakes, so though—
The wheels on the draw bridge may need oiling, from time to time
ALL take TURNS ensuring that the bridge does not burn down
