Aching (God does not make mistakes!)

When my soul is aching

When I believe myself to be so all alone

Please allow me to feel the love you feel

In your heart for me

How could it be

That life gave birth to a mistake

And isn’t it all in the impressions we make

From the take of others

That surrounded us

So many of us felt unseen

We ached for a place to be beheld

To be held tenderly

Within the heart and soul and mind

Of another

And so, so many of us seek the outer lover

The one who will hold before us

The truest mirror of our soul

But sometimes it is our wounds

That we see reflected

When the wounds of another

Make our unseen tender hearts ache

So let us remember

That world does not always have it right

When it tells who we are

For distorted mirrors cannot absorb the light

And only reflect the error

It is for each of us to navigate

The ways in which we got lost

Seeking reflection

And through the journey of aching

And our hearts breaking

Find the way home

To the love you hold for us

Deep down inside your being

Life

For God does not make mistakes
