Week #41 Validate

Why do I need to validate
 the gift inside of me,
with other ears who hear my words
or other eyes who see?
 
“Wow, you’re good” I long to hear
So relevant to be
As if I’m just not good enough
Till someone sets me free
 
If I think that I’m OK
Is that not enough you see?
To validate God given gifts
That God has given me?
 
To be happy in my very own skin
And cause all doubt to flee
I validate the one who gave
Validation back to me

    I started Monday Morning Poetry Group in April 2017 to share new poems I have written since I published my book of Poetry.
