Poem - Rejected by Others

 

 Rejected by Others

For in life my sisters and brothers

As to my being they denied

Because I was rejected by others 

Judged so harshly by all the mothers

That I just wanted to run and hide

From life and my sisters and brothers

A mustard seed that was grandmothers

Given me became a light and guide  

Because I was rejected by others

A treasure in disguise became my hope 

Placed around my neck as a child

I grew in hope in life to cope

For big and firm the seed beguiled

But I lost it in life due the rejection

Then my hope returned as I smiled

Christians friended me and gave affection

Became in life my brothers and sisters

Helping me see my true reflection

Because I was rejected by others
