Bare my soul
Bare my heart
Heart of truth
Heart so tender
Tender feelings
Tender thoughts
Thoughts of love
Thoughts of spirit
Spirit of life
Spirit is alone
Alone in pain
Alone in relief
Relief of the angst
Relief of the struggle
Struggle to detach
Struggle to grow
Grow in faith
Grow in belief
Belief in myself
Belief in goodness
Goodness of kindness
Goodness of acceptance
Acceptance of our diversity
Acceptance of my story
Story of travails
Story of overcoming
Overcoming attachment
Overcoming fear
Fear of hate
Fear of doubt
Doubt the world
Doubt of honesty
Honesty in caring
Honesty in relations
Relations of all
Relations in humanity
Humanity of hope
Humanity of individuals
Individuals loving
Individuals reaching
Reaching for each other
Reaching within
Within the essence
Within the traces
Traces of ancestors
Traces of angels
Angels of mercy
Angels of grace
Grace
Mercy
❤ ❤
