Sacrifice nothing
Don’t let it go
Hang onto something
Let the winds blow pass
All around you
Let them go
Keep that, those you care for
Close and together
Never ever, despair.
Sacrifice nothing
Act like you have nothing
Not a care
Cause I know and will share
That the world will hold
Envelope you
In it’s gentle
Loving care.

Soft and tender my heart waits to remember
Kisses, caresses I’ve lived in my life, seen in my life
Gentle and kind
Making my world one I don’t mind.
The heart is full with it all
Trying to make sense of it all
Because blessed we be
When in the midst of some senseless tragedy
We see a soul soft and tender
That’s when we remember
Remember our heart is full, full of it all
Soft and tender.

As you move forward into eternity
Stop and look around
See majesty.
See forests, lawns, parks and lakes
See people, fawns and a most interesting place
Nothings ever dull if you but care to trace
The movement of the world
For it’s such a wondrous place.
Please move thru this time in space
With a light and tender thread
So they’ll only know you’ve been here
By all the good they felt
From your kind and gentle tread.

An old soul once told me
‘Be kind, gentle and above all full of courtesy’.
Makes no difference that old soul you see
Was a dog I knew
Oh, just so briefly.

Sometimes I let it go
Sometimes I don’t give it a second thought.
Sometimes I wonder what happened?
What changed your mind and erased your loving heart?
Once I was all you knew
No one else you gave a second thought.
Now indifference clouds the view
Sarcasm is the voice heard a lot
No more gentle caress, no more loving thoughts.
Didn’t happen over night
It seeped in thru empty, shallow thoughts
Taking a awful tole on our gentle, loving hearts.
Sometime turn around look back down your path
See me standing all alone, looking back.
Loving as much as I did then
In the gentle, loving days
Before the empty, shallow thoughts.

Gentle kindness
Softly touching you
Caressing, soothing wounds
So deep
And pushing wrongs
The other way.
No regret nor remorse
None have come to play
Just loving thoughts
Holding you
In a place of kindness
Each and everyday.

Why am I here?
Questions
Questions are all I hear
Why?
Delve deep inside
Your soul modest, gentle
And even maybe
A little slow.
There in peace
You survive
Enveloped in strength
And a moral code
You can’t deny.
Stand strong
Breach the crest
Ride the tide
No one need question why
You alone are the one
To bring you
To the centred one.
Questions?
Many and a few
But for you
All you need to know
The answers live deep inside
Your magnificent soul.
That’s all
All you need to know.

What makes it whole?
What makes it right?
Don’t know the answer on this night.
Striving to
Striving to be
The answer for all that need to see
Healthy, wholesome power and strength
Demure gentle carrying those in need.
We will rejoice
We will succeed
In making whole this life that’s right
For you and right for me.

I found me, I found love
I found myself inside of me.
Gentle and kind I must be
When I let go and let me be free.
For if I let go, I will be
The person, that person
I certainly should be.

Soft and gentle
Strong and hard
Much to learn
Lots to discard.
Be you patience
Kind and bright
For whatever
Comes tonight.
