Take a look at me now, do you see what I see? Look a little closer because I’m talking about by inner being. When I hear you tell a child, „My how you’ve grown!“, I never hear you refer to their inner nature. I want you to look deeper and take stock of me. Tell me truthfully if I’ve grown in mental maturity. Has my spiritual perception grown at all? Yes, I know I’ve grown just a few feet taller but can you see the inner growth that I struggled to achieve? Oh, you haven’t really looked that closely at me? Will you admit to not really seeing me? That our relationship has been only skin deep. I often wonder why we don’t talk as much. I’ve wondered why we don’t share a deeper trust. Take a look at me now and witness my growth. You’ll be amazed at the way under pressure I now cope. I no longer fly off the handle when I don’t get my way. I’ve matured in my mental awareness in so many ways. I’ve made leaps and bounds beyond the physical growth. Take a look at me now and witness the new me. I want you to know how hard it was. I want you to know that I almost gave up. I want you to know I needed your spirit. I want you to know that I’m a worthy human being. I want you to know that I can now stand on my own. Take a look at me now and tell me now, „My how you’ve grown!“. This has been a great day for us to look back upon. Will we go our separate ways and promise to keep in touch. Let’s make it a point to check in more on our spiritual growth? Peace.
