Symbiosis

We need each other, a true symbiosis. Outside your bark is weather-worn from extended crisis But inside you're nothing but heart. You're a gift from God, a true work of art. You need me. This I Can See Clearly. Please let me help because I love you dearly You have got broad shoulders, and you live by grace But even broad shoulders need a shoulder sometime To face what they must face Rain have pelted you during the year I will rise to stand in your Stead, you must not fear Rains will strike me first but they roll off my back It streams Gently this time down it's weather-worn track And oh, I need you like the sky needs the Sun When my pain is too much to bear away from me you don't run Feed me the chlorophyll drawn from your root You give me the strength to put boot, before boot, before boot If I still just want to scream You Hold Us Together tight in my dream When I feel your arms encircle me I know, I know our love was meant to be We need each other, it's true symbiosis. .

I think it's a terminal case. I'll have it until I die.
