If you loved me, held me closely,
That would reassure me.
When I lay down to sleep
I hug my body,
to be held.
It’s not wrong for me to love me,
To soothe my hurts,
give care to my scars.
To appear undamaged.
I long for a day of measure
when equality rules,
When interactions
bear love’s signature,
When smiles directed at others,
a touch, a pat on the shoulder
would all be genuine gestures,
Life balancing hatred.
I wish for a day when people would hear,
listen,
Not interpret actions, summarize anyone,
But see all people as God’s creation,
Whatever race a person might be,
Anyone could enable them,
Assist so they’d glow in God’s image.
Amen! Change starts from within. If we don’t love ourselves, there us no way to love others. In reminding myself that I am made in the image of God, that helps me to look in the mirror and love myself!
