Giving Down

When it starts from the top 
And works its way down 
Nothing can stop it 
From spreading around 

When it comes from within 
With no strings attached 
Nothing can break them  
From making permanent bonds 
That can last forever and ever

When it comes from the heart 
That’s when it starts to begin 
To spin wonderous tales 
Where everyone wins 
And no one falls under bad spells 
And no one winds up in a living hell 

Giving down certainly beats giving up
