"I listen deep to the cry of my inner child,
and embrace the struggle to understand
myself, others, and the world.
I listen with the strength of a gentle parent
who knows best how to guide me and love me
in the structures I learn to create,
in order to nurture myself and others.
I feel the charge of my emotions
and the scatter of my thoughts.
I see a path to growth when I center myself
and accept a balanced sense of accountability
for the outcomes of my impulses and decisions.
I embrace the innocence of my soul
and remain open to learning how to dance
gracefully with my inner child and adult authority."
