Gentle

I was listening to Michael McLean's the collection tonight and the song "Gentle" stood out as the song that most reminds me of Kristy and this whole mess we are all dealing with. (One heart in the right place is a close second)

Like a gentle wind can blow the clouds from the sky,
Like a gentle touch can ease the pain of goodbye.
Like a gentle smile embraces empty souls in lonely places, We should be more gentle with ourselves.

Like the friend who gently builds us up when we're down,
Like a gentle kiss can turn our world all around.
We've been hurt by others often; we've forgiven and forgotten; we should be as gentle with ourselves.
Life can be hard but we need not be so hard on ourselves,
If we will see...

Like the Shepherd leads His flock with gentle commands,
With His gentle voice that only hearts understand,
One thing we can know for certain He has borne the awful burden, so that we can be gentle with ourselves.
One thing I know for certain: He will bear my every burden, so I can be gentle with myself.
