THE BEST GIFT EVER

THE BEST GIFT EVER

I sought your attention 
And you gave me your heart
I tell you my life story
And you listen with compassion 

I felt unworthy and ashamed 
My past, planted like the foothills of a mountain 
Secrets hidden from the world, awful and despicable 
But my heart carries the burden daily

I can no longer hide behind the cloud of a smile
Or the deception of all is well
You have given me the courage to unveil my masks 
Not feeling ashamed of my nakedness 

I sought your attention 
And you gave me your heart 
I walked in shame 
Until you introduced me to love
You saved my life.

Wilford Barker.
