Residual Value

In the safety of some moments
Deepest feelings get expressed
When we're hurt, dismissed, excluded,
We don't function at our best.

“Do life my way”, say the winners
Of some sectored part of life;
“I don't think so”, say the others,
Pushing through some path of strife.

“Gift-mix model” gave me options,
Held at bay the powers that be,
Healed the hurt, took back, included,
All those parts that made up me.

Long has been my journey homeward,
Stiff the pressure, great the lack;
But it's coming, slowly, surely,
As my life gets back on track.

How to make a safer context
For the people in our sphere?
Let them be what God created
Move from strength to strength – no fear.
