Unselfish Tribute

Bless you for all you've given.
That a soul without a twist.
Yet you're scorned by the living.

Shunning are they, so numbing
To dwell in their assess.
Bless you for all you've given.

Beautiful are you, beyond the skin
With soul and vigor, unselfish.
Yet you're scorned by the living.

Your perils do not  strengthen
With other's images, other's weakness.
Bless you for all you've given.

And with your heart comes kind thinking.
Alone are you not, others do exist.
Yet you're scorned by the living.

Grateful am i for your breathing
And in my life you do consist.
Bless you for all you've given.
Yet you're scorned by the living.
