That's the Tenderness of Soul
The soul has many facets.
It can feel empty, can feel whole,
Broken or mended...
That's the tenderness of soul.
When a heart bleeds for another,
When hateful deeds turn one cold,
When love compels kind actions...
That's the tenderness of soul.
When attachments form,
When compassion takes the leading role,
When the bonds of love grow stronger...
That's the tenderness of soul.
When one feels tired and weary,
When poor health takes its toll,
When one begs the purpose of their fight...
That's the tenderness of soul.
When nature makes a spirit soar,
When a sense of humour finds things drole,
When two hands join and fit just right...
That's the tenderness of soul.
Tenderness is vital.
It's a quality of old.
Tenderness makes us human.
It will make ours an appealing soul.
