Loving a Misplaced Child....
A Misfit is what you see in me. Though I was made by the Divine,
I have been misplaced due to someone taking leave, or loss…
Or maybe their apathy is what has made me the person that you see.
I am One who is without a home, yet I yearn to belong,
I crave to know you fully and to be fully known.
I am One who knows not how to live and how to love,
Yet, I am ever-waiting for a firm hand that is as tender as a dove.
I am One who can be tough & secretly strong, beyond what I appear,
Yet, I am fragile to the touch of any hand that truly has a care.
I am One who lives within my head, for, it is my place of ‘safe & sound’….
Yet, I loathe what lives within, for surely IT is what chased away those with whom I did belong.
I am One who has nothing to offer, but my whole heart, broken and yet strong.
IF You should come along. I would give you my heart, though the longer it remains broken, I fear IT will… turn to stone.
I am One who Can learn to love again and to trust again, if only you will show me how…
If you can give to me a place where I can learn to belong,
a place to know others and to be fully known.
A place that is full of life and of love, with a Guide that is tender and yet strong.
A place of warmth that is ‘safe & sound’ from danger, fear and dread.
If you will take a chance on me, a misfit, by giving to me what I need to live, sharing with me a bit of your heart, and loving me for who I was made to be…..
Then, perhaps, one day, I can learn to trust again, to love again and to give all that I have….
My heart fully trusting, loving, and living in a way that is Divine…..
For now, I am One who is without a home, yet I yearn to belong,
I crave to know you fully and to be fully known.
~a loved misfit~
