From the Cobwebs: Ego Sum a perficio Parvulus

 

For my Mom, who helped me to see the truth and who is the only one I know who MIGHT understand the Latin.

I was hungry and in tears, but the other person fed me instead of her.

I was alone and scared, but the other person comforted me instead of her.

I was filthy and uncomfortable, but the other person cleaned me instead of her.

_______________________________________________________________

She was sad and I comforted her.

She was dirty and I cleaned her hair.

She left me and I mourn her still.

_______________________________________________________________

I am the other person.

_______________________________________________________________

I am not a monster.

I am not unworthy.

I am not unlovable.

_______________________________________________________________

For I am the perfect child of my Daddy.

And I am the perfect child of my Mother.

And I am the perfect child of my Mom.

And I am the perfect child of my FATHER.

_______________________________________________________________

I am a perfect child.
