Hi.
I don’t understand You,
and that’s okay,
but I know You are my Parent.
I knew You when I
was in Your Womb, Mommy.
I knew You from the first day
You held my weak and wandering
eyes in Your loving gaze,
caressing me with Your thoughts.
*
I know how strong You are, Daddy,
because time and time again,
no matter how big I have grown,
You have lifted me up
on Your strong shoulders,
and held me in your strong hands.
*
Forgive me for growing up
to think I had to earn your love.
Forgive me for thinking You could
ever love me less if You also
loved my brothers and sisters
just as much as You love me.
