Gentle and Tender

Gentle is the rain

That falls softly from heaven

So please be gentle with my heart

Tender is the feel

Of a young child’s hand

So please be tender

To my soul

Deep inside of me

There is a longing now to be

Both gentle and tender

And even if the answer to what you ask of me

Is No

I pray I find a way to say it

That is both

Tender snd gentle
