Tread Lightly
Be gentle with yourself and others.
Tread lightly
By Michelle Morris

Tread lightly on my heart:
Been hurt before
Been torn apart...
By loving too much,
Too well and too true,
By loving someone more than fair due.
Tread lightly on my mind:
Been played before
Been deeply bruised...
By forgiving and
Pleasing,
Too much and too well,
Keeping on trying,
Despite the hell.
Tread lightly on my soul:
Been betrayed by all
Been forsaken still...
By my generosity of spirit,
My inner light,
Keeping darkness at bay
With strength and might.
