Unworthy
TRUTH walked back in, to a room,
Taking back what had been stolen
by a soul of unbelief
Her eyes caught sight of a baby
Cast under a table as a beaten rod
by the woman ridden with unbearable grief
TRUTH rushed to pick her up
As she demanded the woman, stop
etching beautiful lies in the baby's skin
As TRUTH inquired of baby's journey
The woman sat with disconnected scorn
at the TRUTH she had shunned and the accusations taken in
As the baby poured out her truth
She pulled away from a warm embrace
like a thirsty tongue resisting fire
The fire heated to the highest degree
Leaped from TRUTH's heart into baby's core
Worthy are you, my accepted by LOVE daughter
............be held
and
..................be healed
