Boundaries

Boundaries 

by Martha MacFarland


Boundaries are essential

For we are worthy of others

Treating us with respect

So there are times

When we must say

“That is not allowed”


We can love the soul

Even with inappropriate behavior

For there are young and old souls

Interacting together

And some have not gained the compassion 

and wisdom of many incarnations


So it is okay for us to observe others’ behaviors

And emotions without absorbing their energy

And we can cut any negative cords of energy

By centering ourselves in meditation

And listening to the higher self for guidance


And we trust our soul’s blueprint

Navigating us through challenges

Necessary for our highest growth

Nudging us to embrace situations

In order to find the learning and the gift


For everything is brought forth

In our highest good to expand and grow

There are no victims but volunteers

We must therefore trust our soul’s calling

And know that life is happening through us 

And for us, not to us


So through self-love and boundaries

We release patterns that do not serve us

And walk in unconditional love
