Worth It

Heard a new song by Francesca Battistelli that I feel does a great job describing the love we have, especially for our trauma kiddos.

Worth It

Love’s not a feeling
Love’s not convenient
But I know love will change your life
Love takes sacrifice
Love cuts like a knife
Sometimes love will make you cry
Love’s not easy
But it’s worth it

Love is a hunger
But love won’t leave you empty
See it’s the language of the heart
Love can steal your pride
But love won’t let you hide
It takes everything you’ve got
Love’s not easy
But it’s worth it

(Chorus)
What you gonna do when the bottom falls out
And you’re left with nothing but your fear and your doubt to hold to
Who will hold you?
Where you gonna run when it’s all on the line
And you’re looking for someone to save your life
To save your life

Love can hear you
Love can heal you
If you let it inside
Oh, remember now
Love’s not easy
But it’s worth it

(Chorus)
What you gonna do when the bottom falls out
And you’re left with nothing but your fear and your doubt to hold to
Who’s gonna hold you?
Oh, where you gonna run when it’s all on the line
And you’re looking for someone to save your life
To save your life

Love can hear you
I know love will heal you
If you let it inside
Oh, remember now
Love’s not easy
But it’s worth it

When faced with the daily stick poking, the rages, the ugly behavior just for the sake of being ugly, the hurtful remarks by strangers and even worse family/friends...I choose love even when I don't feel like it, when it is anything but convenient, when more is sacrificed than I could have ever imagined and it indeed on somedays it takes E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. I've got.
