A gentle reminder from @rebeccaglevington.bsky.social that feelings are okay, and they can change each day!

And just like the wind, or the sun or the sea,
On some days I’m some ways, but all days, I’m me.

Thank you so much for your kind words about my poem. It was such a thrill to be a part of this issue and create words to accompany Imogen’s gorgeous artwork! ❤️🤗

Illustration by Imogen Hartland of a child in a yellow slicker standing on a rock next to a lighthouse. Accompanying the illustration is part of the poem "I'll Be Here" by Rebecca Gardyn Levington.

Imogen Hartland's illustration, I Heard a Song, inspired some truly stunning poetry, including the fabulous "I'll Be Here" by @rebeccaglevington.bsky.social!
