Never Discarded, Never Unloved
You were loved before you were even born
You were supported even when you thought you were all alone
Don’t on your luck, or flat on your back
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
Battered and Bleeding,
your thoughts swimming against the tide
Ashamed and rushing for somewhere to hide
Rage and Anger boiling inside
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
Broken and on the scrapheap, only seeing defeat
Clothes torn and soiled, worse than any child
Tears falling like a waterfall to nowhere
You cower and hide under the stairs
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
You spiral ever downwards, despair like a comfy chair
You sit in it, you bury yourself in it
You wish you could fall down the back of the sofa
To hide your despair, being sat upon like a chair
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
You are down in the pit, the darkness everywhere
You are battered and broken, wanting to hide
There is no hope, there is no light, and worse
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
And on the circle, the big dipper goes
You are a passenger on a circus ride, your heart lost inside
You are not in charge, you are glued to despair
On and on you ride, an empty husk
Like a baby abandoned in a wicker basket
About to go over the waterfall
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
Then the love, from Prayers and Family
And from the scruffiest of nurses brings you back
You are in the pit, the very darkest bottom of it
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
It’s a long hard journey back
To trust again, to love again
You comb your hair again
You smile again, you’re not so timid any more
The wolf has been tamed, you are no longer
Hiding in your little red hiding hood
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
The sun appears, it pushed back your fears
Timid smiles, and little laughs crack the darkness
Of your face, the sunshine appears on your lips
You even dance and sway your hips
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
Slowly confidence, replaces apprehension
You learn to live again, to smile again
The clouds in your heart are blown gently away
The storm of sadness has been quelled
The dark glasses have been replaced with sunshine
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
So, on it goes, sometimes backwards a step
But now your mind and heart and soul
Is on the future, you have climbed out of the pit
And now as you walk away from it
It is being forgotten and filled in
Life and Laughter demolish it
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
So, remember you were always loved
Even if you could not see it
From before you were born you were loved
First by your mother, and even afterwards
When she was not there
Never Discarded, Never Unloved
You were always loved
Love is eternal, so from the first spark
Of Creation itself, there is the wealth of Love
And people still pray for you after you are gone
Love, laughter and memories carry on
All Creation carries on, one generation after another
We look forward to our Futures, never forgetting the past
We have climbed out of the bog, and through the fog
To form family and creation
For Love really does conquer all
We are all, no matter how bad or sad
Never Discarded, Never Unloved.
