Boundaries

What are those? I ask inquisitively.

You know

They are kind of rules

You set for

How others treat you.

Oh!

You mean we have a choice?

Yes.

The beauty is that

When you and the other

Both set healthy boundaries

You are free to be yourself

And they are free to be their-self

And you both

Take responsibility

For the kind

Of relationship you build

And you learn

It’s ok

To express your feelings

It’s ok

To hold your ground

It’s ok for you

Because

It’s ok for them too

It’s about

Honesty

Authenticity

Respect

Autonomy

Compassion

It’s about love…

It’s always about love!

Always?

Yes, my child, always.

OK
