life

A phone call
invitation
for a night of worship
but how to live drug free
for a night…unknown

waiting

A phone call
excuses
of why not to come
but nothing holds a candle
to the flame of His Love

sleeping

A phone call
help!
needing a ride right now
being picked up on a corner
becoming a hostage of heaven

rest

going from hopelessness
to being with a family in a home
meeting kids, watching football
finding excuses to leave

having been told all her life
lies the she believed
lies that formed her identity
lies that fed her pain

why not sell your body
and receive what you’re worth
why not remain in darkness
to please others
and kill yourself

but what if…

what if you were told you had value
and were created for a purpose
what if you spent time with ladies
who wanted nothing in return
what if you heard hours of live worship
and slept in the safety of the church
what if you were given groceries and money
without giving any part of you away

we’ll see if she believes in who she might become
