Rescue Me

By Terri Onorato

Rescue me not only with your hands but with your heart as well.

I will respond to you.

Rescue me not out of pity but out of love.

I will love you back

Rescue me not with self-righteousness but with compassion.

I will learn what you teach.

Rescue me not because of my past but because of my future.

I will relax and enjoy.

Rescue me not simply to save me but to give me a new life.

I will appreciate your gift.

Rescue me not only with a firm hand but with tolerance and patience.

I will please you.

Rescue me not only because of who I am but who I'm to become.

I will grow and mature.

Rescue me not to revere yourself to others but because you want me.

I will never let you down.

Rescue me not with a hidden agenda but with a desire to teach me to trust.

I will be loyal and true.

Rescue me not to be chained or to fight but to be your companion.

I will stand by your side.

I will cherish you.

Rescue me not to be your pet but to be your friend.

I will give you my undying love.
