Charity begins at home
Working through emotions can be complicated. The important thing is that we give ourselves space and time; and that we try to be compassionate to ourselves and others.
No matter what they've done to us, we can raise the vibration and walk in Light and Love, even if we are struggling with every step!
Charity begins at home
04/09/2024
You say I can speak to you anytime
But we both know that's a lie
It's important that I know my place
Because, you know... you have a life!
I have to fit in, you see
Like a pretzel in a bag
Turning myself inside out
Being smothered by your bad
All the hypocritical things
That you say and do
Hey, you think your kid's a preacher
So, by virtuous association, so are you!
How about we open up your Bible
And turn to the Godly guidance
Charity* begins at home, it emphasizes
Perhaps you couldn't understand the irony
When I was stuck in Hell
And burning for my good deeds
You stood on the sidelines
Burning marshmallows for Peace
You didn't bother to check on me
Assumed God's Grace would see me through
You wondered why I fell silent
But was to chicken to know the Truth
Instead you did that thing
That thoughtless people do
When they act like everything is fine
Only seeing what they want to
And I, being a Chosen One
Follow the Light and the Love
Having to set a leadership example
Sent by God's Mercy above
I have compassion for your weaknesses
After all, you're just a man
I forgive you for all your trespasses
As I am forgiven through Heaven's plans
I don't want to talk to you
We are strangers, not a family team
I choose Heaven's counsel instead
Surrounded by God's Angelic beams
You live your life as you will
May your heart reflect your Truth
I will treat you well, as I do all humans
Knowing it's for the Highest Good
We all have our own paths to walk
We all have our crosses to bear
Maybe one day we'll meet in Heaven
And understand the lessons that we shared
Every Soul is ultimately connected
We're all here to do our best
May Love and Light guide us both
To help pass all Heaven's tests

* Google AI: The Bible doesn't contain the exact phrase "charity begins at home," but it does emphasize the importance of helping those closest to us. For example, the Bible says, "Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever".
