despite


Who wrote the book of rules
of what defines the strong?
To be able to get lost in a dream
to savor the salt of a tear.
Weak perhaps, it does seem. . .

to the unyielding,the closed
the jaded, the non seeker walker?
Is surrender a flaw you say?
When you choose to give it all
despite the price you might pay?

Is truth a breed gone extinct?
Tenderness and compassion lost?
Self gain the only winning way
in this world gone all wrong?
So I will take a stand today. . .

and say that the bread of life is mine
the wine is tasting oh so sweet

for I will love

and hurt and learn

dream and fly

stumble and fall

for the ultimate

I will always yearn.
