They say you cannot have
Compassion and innocence
And yes I can see that.
But you have great compassion
And that is the greater virtue
They say that there ain't
No rest for the wicked
But what of the kind hearted?
The sweet and gentle?
They say that ignorance is bliss
And that knowledge is power
But do you know, these tables
Can also be turned?
I know you have a kind gentle heart
A tender soul and a listening ear
I know you have a wearying life
A tortured soul and a sore heart
And I know you have a bright mind
Brilliant thoughts and a clever eye
I know because with these
You've touched me
Touched my life and heart
And mind in an irrevocable way
And shown that you can lighten
The world for those in need
Compassion and innocence
And yes I can see that.
But you have great compassion
And that is the greater virtue
They say that there ain't
No rest for the wicked
But what of the kind hearted?
The sweet and gentle?
They say that ignorance is bliss
And that knowledge is power
But do you know, these tables
Can also be turned?
I know you have a kind gentle heart
A tender soul and a listening ear
I know you have a wearying life
A tortured soul and a sore heart
And I know you have a bright mind
Brilliant thoughts and a clever eye
I know because with these
You've touched me
Touched my life and heart
And mind in an irrevocable way
And shown that you can lighten
The world for those in need
I literally just found this 8:42 on 5.7.13. I have no words, absolutely no words for how shocked I am right now. It's not been a great day. Not at all. But I have two beautiful friends who are helping me get better and I have this gorgeous feeling of shock that'***** me. I still can't believe I wrote this. Sorry if I'm tooting my own horn here, you can completely ignore this note, it's just for me. But dang, I can't believe I wrote this. What in heck. Anyway. I've got this and two great friends(Storm is one) and a new favorite shirt for an important reason. I still don't know how I feel exactly. But dang.
