We all have bad days. And bad times. Even kids have them. And sometimes, a kid needs permission to feel sad for awhile.
A Poem Of Hope For A Sad Kid
people tell you to cheer up
when you’re sad
they say, bcuk up kid
hey say, nothing is as bad
as it seems
but you know what?
sometimes things DO feel as bad
as they seem
someimes you don’t want to buck up
sometimes you need to wallow
sometimes you need to feel
your yucky feelings
so that when the little strip
of sunshine
slants across the room
and lands on the cat’s nose
you can feel the beauty
of that moment
stronger
more fiercely
because of all the strong, fierce
feelings
that you have
right now.
