I wish I could give my love to all <br />If i could <br />I surely would <br />But let me give a piece to you <br />so you migth give a piece to me <br /> <br />What we share will be ours alone <br />a gift to you from me <br />and from me to you <br />if it's your choosing to <br />the greatest love is given for free <br /> <br />Because life is short <br />and can feel so cruel <br />that unless we take a chance on kindness <br />heartache will be the rule <br />and if in loving you <br />you make me to be a fool <br />I will find the heart to forgive you <br />for I'd rather be a mule <br />and carry the burden of love <br />than be a prancing horse <br />that dances life away <br />and leaves it worse <br /> <br />I'd rather err in kindness <br />than choose to hide away <br />because God created me for some reason <br />and from this reason I've let sadness lead me astray <br />But in my heart is kindness <br />and so on this path I wish to stay <br />and one day in being me <br />happiness may find a way <br /> <br />The kindness we sew <br />may seem to dissappear <br />like nothing into nothingness <br />like it was never here <br />and it has hurt so much <br />and stirred my lonliness and fear <br />in the deepest part of me <br />that those I've loved, did not see <br /> <br />But what others see is only part of the story <br />the missing part is seen by God above <br />and is done for his Glory <br /> <br />and not for me <br /> <br />because I am just a speck of dust <br />blowing in the wind <br />but a million specks of dust <br />might one day a mountan be <br />a joy for others to see <br /> <br />So if you've fallen <br />rest your weary head upon me <br />I am strong enough to bear you <br />and my eyes clear enough to see <br />that I belong to you and you belong to me <br />brothers and sisters are we <br />on this sometime dark and churning sea <br /> <br /> <br />2008 © James T.
