Landmines

Stepping on landmines light as a feather, 

wishing to guard you and make you all better 

because I see trouble and wounds so infected 

and I love you and want you all safe and protected

Oh please keep your breathing steady and cool

to put you through fire is unwise and cruel

but nobody's perfect but they're trying to be

but these crosses cut deeper than I think we can see

Hard to let go and so hard to ignore

Can you forget what has happened before..?

But you need to forgive so you all can get better

release all that weight and be light as a feather

I watch all these people, the ones I admire

with whispering voices voicing their ire

But please keep in mind that your schism may show

Stop placing landmines where your children go

It's hurting me this silent strife

the battle won by none

I wish for you a better life

once all is said and done
