Poetry for people who could use a little kindness

A Little Love

I was a broken toy
Cast aside by so many people
Whenever they'd pick me up,
I'd smile and hope they'd accept me
But they never did

Over time, I learned
that I was no good to anyone
No one wanted me
I could only look forward
to being thrown away

Then one day, you came along
Picked me up and looked me over
And said,
“She's not broken,
She just needs a little love.”

You took me home
You cared for me and loved me
And showed me that I wasn't broken
That all those other people were wrong
I did just need a little love

It might be a long time
before I really believe it
but we've got plenty of time
So thank you for giving me
A little love
