You Are Loved

You played by the rules to satisfy them –

How could you win without your hand to play?

Those opposing walls concealed such a gem

Until it once again saw light of day.

After far too long a stoic silence

You reached for a comfort that let you down.

What once eased your pain soon built reliance,

A delicious heaven where worries drown.

Now freed from darkness it shines on us all –

It’s to your credit that sparkle survives.

Trusted guardians failed to heed their call,

Yet despite them its vitality thrives,

And should new walls recall those darker days

Just remember you are loved, for always.
