We must come to the truth
as a little child, innocent, trusting,

unashamed, full of trust.

Then we can say, “Look at me!”

for we come innocent — lacking guilt.

We come trusting — expecting acceptance.

We come unashamed for we have not learned

that we are not loved, lovable, loving, good.

We come full of trust for we have known trust,

have known acceptance, have been proud

of our development, the tiny steps and giant leaps.

We come to the truth as a little child

finding again the joy of being me and living in joy.
