Opposites Retract
The difference between bravery and stupidity is a wide chasm
One is true as all can see, yet the other is more like a spasm
One is felt from within the heart and is supported by the mind
The other comes from a different part and is followed by the blind
Bravery brings about one's tears just in the knowing of the act
So often met with loud cheers in the seeing of what we lacked
But stupidity has no cause and thus has no real meaning at all
As we all shouldn't take any pause in watching their great fall
Sometimes no matter how hard you try or write down to read
You can only sit there and sigh as they missed your best lead
But you must let stupid go in doing all that you can possibly do
It's the Holy Spirit that you know so thank God that it's not you
So many before thought they were brave only to find it not so
Now lying dead in their grave realizing they didn't really know
Yet all those brave shall rise just in the knowing of God's Glory
Trust me, it's not a surprise that you don't agree with His Story
...as darkness must retract from the Light.
