Would you still love me…

Would you love my scars–
my discolored, gnarled, footprints of pain?

Would you love my shadows–
the ones that darken my eyes every now and then?

Would you love the cluttered corners
and messy closets of my soul?

Would you love the insecurities
that tag along with my confidence?

Would you love my past
and all its ghosts?

Would you love my future
and all my dreams?

Would you love my present
and all my work-in-process?

Would you love my passion
and my stubbornness?

Would you love my curves
and extra weight?

Would you love the vulnerable
beneath my strength?

Would you love the raging storms
that thunder on my horizons?

Would you love how I long to nurture…
in ways other than from my womb?

Would you love the fears
that loom behind my brave face?

Would you love the mistakes
from which I strive to grow?

Would you love the flaws
I have yet to realize?

Would you love me
snoring,
sniffling,
or
sneezing?

Would you love me
despairing,
discouraged,
or
defeated?

Would you love my wrinkles
and forgetful mind?

Would you love my stiff joints
and failing sight?

Would you love me still?
