| Tender Hearts |
| I greet each day inside my cage And wait for God to write my page I wonder if you'll come today? And let me feel the light of day. My whole life has been dark with pain And those who caused it.....what did they gain? They stole my trust, my livelihood And all because they simply could. I yearn to run through scented fields Without a cage and a lock to yield To chase a squirrel that can't be caught To earn a love that can't be bought. But the darkest days have a light In the quiet mornings that follow night You come to visit every day Without a motive, without a pay. You carried me when I was weak Brought trust I was too pained to seek You healed my wounds that took their toll You rescued my slowly dying soul. And now I listen for your voice Knowing that your're here by choice You didn't know me at the start And yet I'm planted in your heart. I'm learning to accept your praise And not avert my fearful gaze Forgive me if I cower still My life has been against my will. I feel that you are growing tired Within this fight that you've been mired If you can keep your doubts at bay It would mean the world if you could stay I can't predict how this will end But I know this of you, my friend You selflessly all played your part You saved me with your tender heart! --Dee Clair |
