I Am a Monster

“I’m a monster” 
“But a beautiful one” he said 
This must be the first time someone has acknowledged me as i am 
But with kindness 
“I'm out of control at times” 
“I like exciting” he replied 
I've never had such words spoken before
“I’m so honest people don’t approach me though” 
“Then i will have you to myself’ he states
Confused, I stare past his eyes, wondering…

“I’m outspoken and loud, people do not like that” 
“I love the sound of your honesty” he chuckles
Now i stare at the brightest blue eyes I’ve seen 
“I’m a humble person” 
A smile fills his face, “i know” he replies warmly 
I pull him close, i whisper, “im a loving person”
“Welcome back” he whispers

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
