— To everyone in my life who has believed in me
I felt alone for so long
I felt no one really loved me
Years of pain and hurt inside
I didn’t let anyone see
I was so torn and broken
I thought no one would love me
But my heart you would open
Healing the deep pain inside
You showed me abundant love
And gave me the strength to stand
Because you believed in me
And who I was meant to be
This is a beautiful poem. My dog is a rescue dog, and it makes me think of how shy and afraid she was when I first met her, and how she’s changed as she has come to understand that she is loved. Now, she’s a beautiful, happy, healthy dog who loves her walks and her people!
