What I have now, I have in abundance
I have it to give to you...
Untethered to any intention
I have it.
For you.
It is yours.
And know it was what I intended for you all along.
Safety, comfort, stability....even sanity
It is yours.

I hold it up
Open, raw, a gift from God or the Universe, to me ...to you.
Its real, with the depth and weight of its promise.
I'm keeping it here for you,...exposed
Subject to regection from  "before"
Its ok, It is mine to freely give to  you
If you will have it,
If you will have me.

The acceptance of me "after"
Would be the greatest gift....
But there is the intention...It is there after all.
The basis of my intention, it is simply the need
for forgiveness.
For your love.
And My love to you.

It seems as if the recipient has shifted
From you, to me...
But really, It is interchangeable
"after" is something to be shared.

"After" is the gift....the one that brought your sister.
With "after" there came a knowing....
A knowing that I had been wrong, broken.
Broken like you said you are now.
The gift can fix it...."After" is surely the cure
For all broken things.

I need you to know there was a place that preceeded "before"
It was " the begining" it was you.
A bit raw, unedited..but that is exactly what this called for
