Open to the World


It's so hard to be heard in this world

Though the words you speak may be true pearls

Be true to youself through the pain and the madness

For that is how you will be delivered from the sadness

That clenches its fist 'round your heart like it does to mine

Slow down in your life and appreciate the time

You've been given on this Earth and shine

helpings others is true love divine.
