Roots & Hope

I used to fear that you were

disgusted

with these holes

across my heart.

I used to worry that my memories

of feeling alone,

forgotten

and rejected

dug so much

out of me

that I was empty.

But how amazing you are:

you see me

based on the wholeness

of your love,

offering me

forgiveness,

identity,

healing

security,

and life

in full,

in You.
