RELINQUISH

Tears flowing on forever
Seemingly never ending
All of the pain spilling out
Now within the safety
Of loving arms to hold you

Don't think just feel dear
Relinquish the years held in
So much frustration and hurt
Never knowing how to let go
Trust finally taking hold

Shaking through so much
Flooding the shirts we wear
Trying to find peace now
Finally in letting go one knows
How hard this was to bare

Hold on to me to get you through
Let go of the need to walk alone
Release that which took you down
Feelings on the mend making room
For the new wonderful memories
About to be discovered so soon

Life's lessons learned so often
Now walking with a friend you let in
Makes the journey so much better
Knowing a hand always holds on
As we both discover a new bond

Calming the years of fear
Built up within your heart
So fragile and tender it is
Now discovering love so true
For you are finally loved for you
