At times we are poor and we complain
And yet we pull together
At times we are rich and we seem happy
And yet we pull apart
We strive for compassion
And yet we fall to envy and strife
We search for Love
And yet when found we tear it apart
We seek tenderness
And yet we let anger and hate
Bury that which we have found
Life seems so complicated
Its much simpler than it may seem
Sometimes the twisted
Needs only to be straightened out
Poor or rich
Each is but one more twist
Each a different direction
Through compassion we find love
And through compassion and love
We find a tenderness found by few
Not to be found in the flesh of our heart
But in the very fabric of our spirit
Within the twists of our twisted lives
Lies a great peace within
God has hidden it within the twists of our lives
Like a pearl waiting to be discovered
The more twists our life has had
The more precious the pearl when found
He who has hidden it within waits
Waits for you to seek his help
To straighten the twists of our lives
To find the peace within
The true pearl of life
Compassion-Love and Kindness
