| The Meaning of Rescue - Author Unknown Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed. All nicely tucked in my warm new bed, I'd like to open my baggage, lest I forget, There is so much to carry - So much to regret Hmmm... Yes, there it is, right on the top, Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache and Loss, And there by my perch hides Fear and Shame. As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave - I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain. I loved them, the others, the ones who left me, But I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me. Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack? Or will you just look at my things - And take me right back? Do you have the time to help me unpack? To put away my baggage, to never repack? I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see, But I do come with baggage - Will you still want me? |
