Child of God?
A mantle I don’t know how to wear.
Suspicious of an unearned claim.
Child of fear
Tattered heart, battered mind
Imperfect, fallible, weak
Child of pain
Possessed of demons
Internal voices scream damnation
Child of insecurity
There. God meets me.
Me. The war orphan.
Child redeemed.
Adopted. Gathered in,
dirt, shame, and mistrust ignored.
Unconditional Love.
Forgiven. Saved. Secured.
Child of God.
