You are destined for greatness
So said the fortune.
I chuckle…aren’t we all destined for greatness?
With each new spark of life
The essence of a brand-new being
Forces us to say “You are worthy”
Who dares to say you are not?
Minutes, days, months and years
Lead to brokenness and a loss of faith
Cruelty, judgment, abuse, discrimination, greed
Culminate into a broken soul
Is this how you forgot your worth?
Close your eyes now
And sift back into your infancy
Weren’t you held at some point or bathed?
Even just this done for you is enough
Remember how you came into this world
And know that this complete Grace and Love
Never leaves you
Even if you forgot
They will be waiting for you to find them again.
