FAÇADE OF STRENGTH

Courage In Letting Go
So much so does it take
Letting you in to see
All that lies beneath the shell

Going deep
Embracing the vulnerability
Taking you into confidence
Seeing that I cannot always be
Strong enough

Saving myself
Saving yourself
Only we save ourselves
In the end as it was
In the beginning alone

Yet along the way
Comes the test of truth
Finding a way inside
Joy, Pain, Heartfelt
Life as it was dealt

We make all that we see
What we want it to be
In the comforting arms
Of another soul we find more

Making our own destiny
By fully viewing all that came before
Seeing with hope all that can be
Embracing now in the moment
We find courage to let go

Releasing the storm within
Setting free the façade of strength
Within the love of those who understand
Providing the temporary shelter
Wrapping us within the arms of love

Courage again found
Knowing when to let go
Going on and forward
Wrapped up in the love
Always within us

Remembering the moments
Tears that were shed
Laughter shared
Safety felt within loving arms

Tenderness felt
Because of our courage
Allowing us to be soft
Courage to let go & trust

All is well within
For there is this place between us....
