Soften

You soften me when

You turn your gaze of love

Upon my rage

And when you understand the troubled ways

Of this soul in pain

Then oh what peace I feel

As you soothe me with your empathy

And loving words

Offering me all

I most long for

In a world that sometimes

Wants to make us wrong

Or tells us to sing another song

What a gift to find the one

Who can look upon

Us

And see the truth

Answering with

Unconditional love
