You'Re Worthy of Love

You're worthy of love I see the scars, you're hiding deep within they're not visible, upon your skin you don't even know, how you could begin to feel worthy of love... You've been floating away, in time and space your pain is written, all over your face your dignity left you, without a trace and you don't feel worthy of love Bridge 1 I've seen so many people, just like you they never seem to make a fuss the only colors you know, are black and blue and now it's hard for you to trust The only friends you had, have long since died you couldn't save them all, even if you tried now you bottle up all, your feelings inside you don't feel worthy of love Bridge 2 I know to you living, is not worthwhile but I can prove that you're wrong I know it hurts to even try to smile cause you forgot where you belong Some may say, that you're a little high strung you've shed too many tears, for someone so young don't you know that you're life has just begun and that you're worthy of love... oh yes you're worthy of love you are so worthy of love You've forgotten that, you too have worth you're the only you, on this planet earth just ask the loving ones, who caused your birth they'll say...you're worthy of love indeed you're worthy of love welcome home my dear! you are so worthy of love!

I don't know why I could relate to this, John, but this lyric touched my heart, a 7:) love can cover any fault, and all human beings are worthy of love, especially God's love:)

You're so right Jo, that's the reason I wrote this so that everyone can know they are worthy of His love. Thanks for the nice comment!

Thanks for the visit Charlotte, yes health problems are a day to day struggle, but friends and family do help, poetry also for sure.

I didn't get the same melancholy feel that a few others took away from this wonderful song. To me it was full of warm reassurance. It felt like a big bear hug. Maybe I missed the boat with my interpretation, but I'm pretty sure poetic license extends to the reader too :)
