for those who give and take not

Your innocent eyes
mask the wisdom behind them.
Sweet tenderness,
layered by bricks,
You never falter.

Your longing heart,
contends with a bridled spirit.
Innocent dreams,
thickened by fog,
You never know freedom.

Your never-ending patience
shields the frustration within,
Calm acceptance,
surrounded by thorns,
You never judge.

Your unfailing kindness,
cascades over rocks and stones
Pure loyalty,
encompassed by bitter truths,
You never forsake us.
