You pause at the door,
alone and unsure,
Convinced this is no place for you.
And you hesitate,
you deliberate,
We have been waiting for you.
Come in.

There is always a place for you,
Though your doubts may be strong,
Rest assured you belong,
There is always a place for you.

Your eyes search the room,
afraid to assume
A space could be open for you.
And you second guess
your worthiness,
We have been watching for you.
Come sit here.

– Philip Silvey
