Take Me As I Am,
Hear Me,
Listen to me with you heart,let your guide be your soul
hold me up so high, let your love talk this time
Speak to me,
Allow your mouth to utter the very words
your heart has not yet spoken
Listen to me,
Hear what my tongue has professed
and not what my lips have concealed
wanting me to feel what you feel
See me,
Look into my eyes, and see this beautiful butterfly
just waiting to take off into the sky and touch life
Carry me,
Lift me up when my spirits are down
when I am consumed with fear
afraid to breathe, this breath of life
Trust in me,
Believe in all that I have shown you, in
all that I am, and everything that I do
Love me,
Caress me with your hands, all that you feel,
take me as I am, paint all the colors that you see
acknowledge my imperfections and love each one tenderly
Water me,
Let your spring flow so deep within my roots
flourishing me with all your sweetness
Plant me,
Hide me in your heart, just beneath your wings
like a seashell buried in the sand, I only want to be
Discovered....
