HOLODAY

We have many special days

Holidays of every sort

Special dates we observe, honor

Or show remembrance to

But individually we have

The Day Everything Changed

This can be everything from good news 

To an unmitigated disaster

We might not keep track of the exact date

Yet our subconscious minds keep track 

In that mental sub-basement we all have

If you are having an unusually hard day but don't know why

It might be the anniversary of something from our past

Something unhealed

Like a mystery bruise or a mysteriously missing item

We might never know what is deep underground in our minds

But obviously there are aftershocks of important events

Unhealed rifts in our progress

Since we might never know the exact cause of an off-kilter day

We might just think we woke up on the wrong side of the bed

It might be a sign healing is needed, we needn't know for what

On those days be extra gentle with yourself

Give yourself adequate sleep, good nutrition

Hydration. uplifting thoughts and goals

We can heal the past when we are ready

It just takes tender loving care in the present

And a ton of kindly tenderness

Towards the brave, struggling, wounded person

We were once upon a time
