taying True

Arms open wide, Facing the whirlwind

Not trying to hide, Being vulnerable

Understanding so elusive at times.

Love remains, and always will

Your shields are up, and I accept

It seems that hurt has drawn you in

While I sorrow with you, there is naught I can do

I am still the same as I always was.

I have not tried to trick or hide,

Tried to open completely

Tried not to hurt any, tried to stay open to all

But I cannot control others minds, nor would want to.

Each must come to their own, you see

So I stand aside with my shields still down

But wonder if you will let yourself see

Sometimes it's easier to close down than to work it through

And sometimes we need to go away

to think things through.

My love will be here, it will not change

Though with tears in my eyes and more in my heart,

my hand stays open to both hold and let go

I will not close , for that is not my Way.

One of life's greatest gifts is the power to choose how we will react

And I choose to go on loving

and hope you choose the same

but with understanding,

my hand stays open to both receive and let go.

And I accept what ever life brings

And though some pain I know I will feel

still on go I throughout it all

And fight to stay open and true

and not to defend agaist what others may misconstrue.

Look in my heart and see for yourself

I have remained true with all I've said to you

All I can do is to remain true and stay open and loving

the rest I'm afraid is up to you

So I stand with arms open wide and face the whirlwind

Accepting and loving and open still

And ever my love goes out to you

What else would you have me do ?

To thine own Self be true
