What Will I See

What will I see when I wake up today
Will I see through the same eyes as yesterday
Will I see a world in turmoil
Will I feel the defeat

When I wake up today
Will I see my life defeated and worn down
Will I see the mistakes and choices
Will they bring me down once more

What will I see when I wake up today
Will I change my vision
Will I see in color or black and white
Will my sight be blurred or focused

When I wake up today
Will it be a new day
Will I feel refreshed
Will I see the sun shining through

What will I see when I wake up today
Will I choose to stare or really see
Will the scares in my eyes be gone
Will my heart rejoice with the life I live

When I wake up today
Will it be a new day
Will it be filled with joy and excitement
Will the choice be mine

What will I see when I wake up today
Will I see skies of blue
Will my heart be free
Will my life be new

A Tender Heart

A tender heart is a gentle soul
But burdened too many times from the concern and compassion it feels

A tender heart reaches out to the simplest things
As well as the downtrodden and the lost, the broken and the damaged

A tender heart cares so deeply
It tries so hard to lighten the world of it's pain and injustice

A tender heart makes the world it's priority
Loosing itself too many times, putting it's own needs last

A tender heart concerns itself so much
It forgets how to live each day filled with the joy of living

A tender heart can make one weary
But fulfilled when it sees the fruit of it's labor

A tender heart wants the world to be a better place
Worrying too much on what is and what could be

A tender heart can be a blessing and a curse
Searching for that place between what it can do and what it can't

A tender heart needs compassion and balance
Finding ways to put action to concerns but letting go when no answer is found

A tender heart sows and reap
Always learning to care to a point, then letting go
