Loved

by Lola Sofi

Even when you pass me by,

He sends another to love on me.

Your deafening silence directed at me

Is muffled by another’s loving touch.

Your purposeful ignorance and willful indifference towards me

Cannot move, shake or break me.

Your intentional avoidance of my person

Is offset by my Father’s ever-loving Eyes on me.

And even as you wish I had never crossed your path

I will continue to show you love… 

Why?

Because my Father is Love

And I am made in the image of being Loved.
