Will you love me
and give me the comfort I need
embrace me tenderly
and nurture love's seeds.
Will you accept me
for the person that I have become
and use your words respectfully
for the damage to be undone.
Will you judge me
for what I have or have not accomplished
by my Spirit,
you just may feel astonished.
Will you respect me
for what I have endured
survival's become my destiny
will you love me ever more.
Can you see me
the love in a little child
in a hug given so gentely
through a love not tame nor wild.
Think I don't understand but I do
it's all according to plan
and I...
can see through you.
