I was born to love.

I was born lovable.

I was born carrying my seed of love.

I was born with needs.

Back then it was up to others to nurture my seed.

All I could do was need.

Because other's seeds had not been nurtured,

Their seeds of love had not blossomed

And they could not nurture my seed.

Without that nurturing, my seed could not sprout.

The love I was born with stayed locked inside.

Many years of unmet needs and unhealed wounds

Have buried my seed.

But that seed of love is still inside of me.

I was born to love.

It is my right and responsibility

To do the digging that will uncover my seed of love.

I can heal my wounds

I can nurture my seed of love.

My seed of love can still sprout and grow.

I can blossom into the loving being

I was born to be.

But now, it is up to me.
