Higher Ground

You see colours in the rain
Compassion through disaster
And glimmer in the gloom
You give solace through the pain
The dazzling gift of laughter
That shimmers past the doom

You live on higher ground
In a world of love and wisdom
You’re strong enough to feel - not afraid to feel
You spread your light around
In a precious little whisper
So passionate and real - ever after

While I’m chasing after worth
This complicated notion
My vanity of needs
You’re embracing all of earth
With unrestrained emotion
Humanity at ease
