Becoming Free
by Andrea Lena DiMaggio
Fitting preconceived notions laid upon me
I never knew just who I should be
Never feeling like I belong
Hardly right but always wrong
Blinding me to what I failed to see
I found my twin in you
Neither knowing what to do
but fitting in as best as we could
Finding comfort in you
acceptance yes it's true
and loving you the way you knew I would
I found my love in you
Finally knowing what to do
Fit together like a hand and glove
Being precious to you
and treasured yes it's true
Becoming one as we begin to share this love
Becoming free with acceptance laid upon me
I finally know just who I should be
At last feeling I belong
Giving words to my sweet song
My eyes open to the blessing you are to me
I found my love in you
Finally knowing what to do
Fit together just like hand and glove
Being precious to you
and treasured yes it's true
Becoming one as we begin to share this love

ANDREA,

Dear Mom...
As usual, you have created a very appropriate piece dealing with what most of us want the most; love and acceptance. Even under the most ideal circumstances, many of us wish for these very things in our lives.
"itting preconceived notions laid upon me
I never knew just who I should be
Never feeling like I belong

How fitting that love and acceptance should come once self-realization and awareness of our personal 'baggage' comes to light.
May Your Words Never Cease...
