Plus lines from the book: THE GIFT OF ADULT A.D.D
By: Lara Honos-Webb, page 221.

 

You hide your peaks and valleys from me;
Afraid of all the unsightly things I may see.

And yet,
I only bloom with glee…

On your peaks,
I see you shining,
I see your growing
and your climbing

Reaching all the joys you deserve to have,
Cherishing all the warmth you were gracious to grab.

And in your crevices,
I see
the depths of love you hold for me;
The boundless zest
and the peace that gives Harmonious rest.

My love,
Be free!
There is only peace,
where you see travesty…

In what you hide,
you protect a vibe,
A pulsing treasure that’s a pleasure to see.

A Holy gift,
that the world longs for
And needs you to Be.

So,
In your crevice,
please know this —

“The world needs your gifts /
and your world needs you to stop beating yourself up /
playing small,
and feeling guilty about what you cannot do”.
