The meaning of rescue

Now that I'm home, bathed, settled and fed,
all nicely tucked in my warm new bed.
I'd like to open my baggage lest I forget,
there is so much to carry-so much to regret.

Hmm....Yes there it is, right on the top.
Let's unpack Loneliness, Heartache, and Loss
And there by my leash hides Fear and Shame.
As I look on these things I tried so hard to leave

I still have to unpack my baggage called Pain.
I loved them, the others, the ones who left me,
but I wasn't good enough - for they didn't want me.
Will you add to my baggage? Will you help me unpack?
Or will you just look at my things- and take me right back.

Do you have the time to help me unpack?
To put away my baggage, to never repack?
I pray that you do - I'm so tired you see,
But I do come with baggage- Will you still want me?
