Notes About The Poem

Don'T Belittle Me

Don't belittle me
For I'm a child of the KING
made in His image
I make His heart sing

Don't belittle me
For I'm made by His hands
and though I'm not perfect
My weakness He understands

Don't belittle me
Even if I belittle you
Know that I'm sinful
Show me a love that's true

Don't belittle me
Don't make my heart to break
I face a struggle or two
That would cause your heart to ache

Don't belittle me
I try to hold on to life
So don't let what you say
Add a burden or bring on strife

Don't belittle me
But be..a little...me
Try to feel the way I feel
Try to see what I see

Don't belittle me
Give me a little love
For if you're the better one
He'll reward you from above...

Please....Don't...Belittle...Me!

Eileen

Timothy Hicks February 4, 2016 at 6:45 PM Stepping inside another person's shoe is a rare attribute. There is nothing to be gained by belittling ... but it is a sign of insecurity. Great confidence and life in this poem!

Cyndi Macmillan January 22, 2016 at 9:24 PM I liked this message a lot, Eileen. I was worried about you. Wondering if the cortisone shots have started to help. Are you still in a great deal of pain? Praying for you... thinking of you... love sent.

Carol Eastman January 19, 2016 at 2:06 PM A very enjoyable piece to read! You've picked up on something many hear need to read... And you did it VERY WELL. Thank you.

Alexis Y. January 17, 2016 at 4:17 PM Eileen, you have penned a great piece with a amazing message. Why someone will belittle a wonderful person as yourself I don't have a clue. "For I'm a child of the KING made in His image I make His heart sing" is such a profound stanza. When you know who you are the bullies don't stand a chance. Excellent write- Alexis 7
