No One Saw Me Writen by Beverly Cunningham Probably started at my birth Through the nursery window, to see Oh how beautiful the babies are But no one looked at me. As I grew older The only girl my Moms constant pleas She looks like her Dad Why didnt my only girl, look like me Mom was so beautiful Fair skin, flowing hair Small-waisted, breathtaking A Maiden so Fair But me ah, the tomboy Dark complexion, not so thin For that was back-in-the-days When my features werent in House full of teen boys Remember 9 brothers - popular to see But I was invisible My friends were chosen - not me Growing into a loner Wearing a mask - the Class Clown My best friend name was unknown No one really saw me when I was around So I lost myself Into whatever was sent my way Spent years - lost years Pain expected from day-to day Until one day I was passing A store window - and did see Backed up and saw what A beautiful woman - it was me He said, Hope you like it This is what I wanted you to see But you never saw it coming Because You never saw me Beloved friends I wish to suggest that we are called to a higher standard; to a joy that cannot be contrived like anger and despair. The raw stuff - the sense of being alive, of being grateful for our pulse and that of others. Unlike a dropped stitch, this kind of joy expects to be integrated into the very fabric of our lives - all of our lives - rendering the invisible visible and reunited to us again. This week, focus on those who are really ours to give to. If you could, you would throw a feast and a party, a banquet and a pageant, a fatted calf and a robe. The feast for joy and strength, the robe for dignity and position. And yes, lights, music and a runway, to give notice to the street that it must make way. If you could you would, but if you would, what could you do? May the stars light the black night as if each promise is holding up the sky - promises that: Yes, Beverly is someone, as are all the invisible Beverlys, because you saw Him.
