Apologies to My Inner Child

Dear Little One,

I hope this letter finds you well

And that it brings some peace to dwell

Within the depths of your heart and soul

For I know your journey has taken a toll

I want to say that I am sorry

For all the times I did not see

The pain and hurt you were going through

And the fear that you held onto

You deserved so much more

Than the scars and wounds you bore

But I promise you this, my dear

That from this day forward, I am here

To hold you close and keep you safe

And give you the love and care you crave

For you are precious, you are divine

And your light will always shine

Please forgive me for my past mistakes

And know that my love for you never fades

I am committed to your healing and growth

And to helping you reclaim your hope

With love and compassion,

Your older self
