The Meaning of Rescue -

Now that I’m home, bathed, settled, and fed
All nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I’d like to open my baggage
Lest I forget,
There is so much to carry -
So much to regret.
Hmm . . Yes, there it is, right on the top.
Let’s unpack Loneliness, Heartache, and Loss
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave -
I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.

I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
But I wasn’t good enough - for they didn’t want me.
Will you add to my baggage?
Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things -
And take me right back?
Do you have time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage,
To never repack?
I pray that you do - I’m so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage -
Will you still want me?
