You are Enough

You are enough
You wake up each morning
Before coffee
Without coffee
And you keep putting one foot in front of the other

You listen to others
Offer counsel
Give hugs
Even as your heart remains broken
As you are unsure of how to fix it

You soldier on
Whether it’s hot or cold
Stuffy or windy
You put on or take off layers as needed
And keep walking

Yet somehow you seem to doubt yourself
How awesome you really are
And keep judging your core
Thinking that you could and should do more
All the time
Forgetting that you are enough
That you are loved
That you are love itself
And that you have so much more inside of you
That you can imagine

So make no mistake
You are the best version of you
You are a warrior

A wife
A mom
A daughter
A sister
A friend
You are enough
Don’t every forget that

You don’t need to be whole in order to be awesome
God loves the broken-hearted
He loves you
That is why you can love others
As you are
You are enough
