There you are
Just saw you and gone already
Black treads of chaotic hair
Dirty face
Torn and muddy pieces of clothing
Unwashed legs and feet

Hidden away for so long
in the grime, the black, the forgotten

I invite you to come back
I have seen you
you are welcome
in my bosom
I receive you
in loving kindness
in an embrace in solace
in an embrace in warmth
of love
of affection

I invite you to let me know
what you need
I help you see the light of day again
to wash yourself
to dress you
to provide in your needs

Don't be afraid
dare to
every time one second longer
slowly forward
together
