Poem Title:
Poem
He walked upon her in the woods Lying there, with placenta and blood on her skin He didn't question where she was going But knew where she had been ~unwanted, unloved, unnoticed~ He cleaned her carefully Removed the dead weight and stains of sorrow and grief He dressed her in royal gowns Daily changing her value and belief ~desired, delightful, distinct~ When she was grown and ready for love He gave her a precious stones to wear Her adornment was a testament To LOVE's extravagant concern and care ~powerful transformation~ She began to walk among the people Whispered gashes flew through the air Words tore her garments And left her naked to the judgmental stares ~unworthy, undeserving, undone~ He watched from His window And saw HIS LOVE packaged in an unopened box Sworn off as a harlot with no lineage They began to pick up rocks ~thrown away, thwarted, taken down.... down, down, to the very ground she came up from What can LOVE do now When siblings break their own Rejection is endurable But family fault finding leaves the redeemed, in the silent alone of the abyss what courage can bring LOVE out of this She walked away, into the great unknown With the garment of humility around her waist Her head bowed low, and gait amiss With all she'd encountered and faced ~with LOVE~ Seasons passed as she drudged through the days Looking for LOVE to find her again She had come to the line of despair And almost gave in to the lies she discovered there ~abandoned, average,aloof~ LOVE showed up and caught her next breath Giving back what she believed to be gone He said, "You are the UNOPENED GIFT My LOVE has chosen to ride upon ~given, golden, glad~ Rejoicing in the moment, HE took her away To a City made of gold and jewels A place where difference is accepted And creativity with LOVE, rules Written by Trudy Schrader on 04-16-2018 Note: So many gifts Daddy God gives us, that remain unopened, because we fail to value LOVE.
