Gentle

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 a kiss can turn a 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 born the awful burdens So we can be gentle with ourselves One thing that I know for certain He will bear my every burden So I can be gentle with myself
