A little project for Rachael, take one.

There is no need to be ashamed.

I, too, am I a woman.

My heart has also been shattered

and broken at the expense of

someone's name I don't remember.

And he never asked for mine.

I am not the same as you,

and I don't pretend to be.

I have not seen the terrors that haunt you

or watch you.

But, I, too, am I a woman.

There is no need to be ashamed.

Let me whisper something into your heart,

let me tell you the secret hope that pulses through me.

He works all things together for your good.

His love will cover you,

and clothe you in goodness, and mercy.

Woman, let me tell you,

there is no judgement held against you.

Let love cover you.
