Have you checked in with your tummy

Have you checked in with your tummy, to see if it talks to you

Maybe it is hungry, or maybe it needs to poo

Have you checked in with your looking eyes, and looked around the room

Peak outside for rainbows, or a bear in a canoe

Have you checked in with your listening* ears, and heard a truck drive by

Maybe it's a fireman, sirens shouting in the night

Have you checked in with your chest, and taken a deep healing breath

It can slow you down, before you make another mess

Have you checked in with your smelling nose, and smelled the smelly smells

Maybe dinner is ready, or a new rain just fell

Have you checked in with your brilliant brain, and thought about your needs

It knows words and numbers, but forgets you need some sleep

Have you checked in with your big heart, and asked it you how you feel

Maybe it needs some hugs, silly tickles, or a meal

Have you checked in with your grabbing hands, or moved around your wrists

They can point and draw and wave, and even make a fist

Have you checked in with your feet, and thanked them for all they do

Maybe they feel the grass or maybe they need some shoes

It's easy to play until you crash but self care is easy and fast

So please check in on your needs. Only you can tell when you feel complete.
