Allow

You get what you allow into your space, consuming your time, giving or taking your grace

Doubt and repine, overthinking each phrase

Like a buffer, a bridge or a anchor

Admission, permission, to determine what is appropriate when your in that caregiving space

To take consideration or making calculations for what and whom is allowed to enter or leave

If you concede, by not listen to your own opinion, then that is where the trouble leads

Take heed to gaslighting and accusations when determining what role you take

Amplification, like kindling that starts the fire

If it doesn’t feel supportive or loving, then create a boundary

Loving wield your genuine gentle reminder

Watch for supportive narratives, those with graceful entrances and exits

There are those who bring blessings and affirmations

Supportive structures to help with grief

Allow those to enter and the others to leave

Trust your own opinion, by writing a caregiver journal of who visits and how you feel after each encounter. Use a symbol, which doesn’t betray or a numbering system.

Then when, you have a moment to feel with your heart and think with your gut, you can make your choice, determine who or whom you choose to allow and who needs a buffer from your permanent space.
