Loving to Realness
The velveteen Rabbit so
prettily stuffed
Lonely and saddened to be
overlooked.
Stiffened by his outer trappings,
wanting to impress
Difficult to receive the girls’ attention and caress.
Clueless how to get close,come alive and to
feel,
But eventually her friendship
to him did appeal.
The rubbing off of Velvet and
bows,
Leaving poor bunny vulnerable
and exposed.
Time shared together, laughter
and meals,
Soon His own heart the little girl did steal.
Tragedy struck separating the
two,
Lost and bedraggled Rabbit at
a loss as to what to do.
Left wanting more, wanting to
become real,
The sprinkling of fairy dust
and loving the source to heal.
Our own facade needing to be
stripped
A process not hurried or to be
skipped
Allowing love to seep and
expose,
Being vulnerable, present and
unclothed.
Our own exchanging with Jesus
and others this love.
The Holy Spirit endowing from
above
The agony and ecstasy of a love so surreal
Loving us until we become real.
Love that He gave us an amazing example! His love was vulnerable in making us real....so much to ponder.
