At the basis of humanity
The need to feel, the need to love
Awakening of the senses insideThe closest to communion with God above
We come into this world at first
So refreshingly simple and unblemished
The world takes away and scolds us
The purity of trust becomes slowly diminished
The dichotomy of life and relationships
We are attracted to things beautiful and unique
But these defining traits, attractive to some
Are most often the targets of harsh critique
There are many that try to help our lives
By pruning and scolding, trying to do good
The constant pounding of good intentions
Make us long to feel understood
The winner of the rat race is in the end still a rat
A contest of sinners and failures needing grace
The mercy bestowed by the ultimate sacrifice
Is the only thing freeing us from keeping pace
Lord in the depth of the thick drudgery of life
Grant me a precious few who will speak truth to my soul
And God please give me the strength to die to self
And the kindness to feed others the love that makes us whole
