Born to be Loved

By Douglas Croft

Inspired by: “You were born to be loved.” – Lucinda Williams, Born to be Loved


You were not born to be anxious
You were not born to be sad
You were not born to be dependent
You were born to be loved


You were not born to be fearful
You were not born for heartbreak
You were not born to feel hopeless
You were born to be loved


You were not born to suffer
You were not born to lose
You were not born for nothing
You were born to be loved


You were not born to be forsaken
You were not born flawed
You were not born to feel helpless
You were born of grace and love


You were born to be cherished
You were born to be embraced
You were not born to be broken
You were born to be loved
