TO BE LOVED


With a Mother
too mad in her mind
to teach me love
and a father
who distorted it's meaning
I began the trail of people
places and things
I sought to fill my hunger
to be loved....

But over and over
and over again
each and every attempt
each and every path
rendered my soul
VACANT!!!!


My heart was weeping
for what seemed forever
doomed-destined-denied
was I never to know
what is was
TO BE LOVED????


August 17Th was hot
it was late near midnight
and my soul was very dark
I'd say it was my lowest moment
"UNTIL"
LOVE LIFTED ME FROM THE FLOOR...


From my hopeless pit of despair
"THE LOVE OF THE WORLD"
LOVED MY SOUL BACK TO LIFE
pouring who HE is
into my thinking
into my feelings
into my being...

Teaching me that
the greatest love of all
is not to be loved
but to give it freely
looking for no return
to just look to lavish love everywhere
to cast my love on the lonely
to dispense my love on the hurting
loving even my enemies
loving the hungry-the well feed
the meek and the proud
My TRUE LOVE
has taught me
what is really means
TO BE LOVED!!!!
