Come as you are to Me, sweet child

Come with your stained cheeks and your tangled hair

Come with your torn cloth clothing and your dirty fingernails

Come with your insecurities, so I can teach you they aren’t so

Do not shield yourself from Me, for you cannot hide

You cannot hide your heart, nor the purity it is made of

Come here and let Me hold you

Let Me envelop you in My loving arms and My rich spirit

Weep if you need, for I will nourish you

Laugh if you need, for I will rejoice with you

Be confused if you need, for I will make everything clear for you

I am the beginning and the end, and I will never leave you

Come to My garden when you need Me, for I will be swaying here peacefully

I will have a smile on My face, with My arms outstretched

For I will always wait for you, My child, to come home

Until you again need Me

Until we are reunited for good in a place where you will see yourself as I do
