From "Falling in Love Again" by Shavawn M. Berry
"All it takes is a moment of grace. All it takes is a willingness to be gentle and kind and compassionate with the wounded child we all harbor.
I do love that small, terrified, glorious child. However, I don’t need to bury her in sweets or hide her inside a fortress of flesh to protect her. I am strong enough to risk deep love.
Starting with the woman I see in the mirror every day. Yeah, her.
Time to fall in love with her."
