Presence


Your presence in my life,
It brings out the best in me,
Your presence in my life,
Lets me know and makes me sure
of God's love and mercy,
Sure of life and its beauty,
As much as I hate its complications,
The occasional feeling of one sidedness,
I trust the light that it comes from,
I could never deny it,
leave it,
hate it.

It is what it is,
I blame you for it,
I love you for it,
I allowed myself to feel it,
To fall for it,
I forgive myself for its so called stupidity,
It is what it is.

For as long as God says it is
Till he makes it stop,
Until he takes me and these feelings away,
For as long as you want it to be,
I will be around ,
I will be there.
That soldier,
That lover,
That sister,

YOU



You.
Beautiful,
Created in divinity,
To be cherished,
To be appreciated,
To be loved,
To be really seen,
You are not a property,
Property to be owned.

You,
Your voice,
Is to be spoken in love,
To be spoken in kind,
To be spoken in laughter,
To be heard,
To be really heard,
To be understood,
Not misunderstood,
Not judged,
Not to be dismissed,
Not to be silenced.

You,
That heart,
To be nurtured,
To feel, deeply feel,
You,
To feel safe,
Its OK to feel and to have an opinion,
To stand up tall,
To stand up strong,
Even if you are only 4 ft 10,
You,
Just to be,
Just to be happy.
