Surrendering
You were full and fully capableYou were self sufficient and needlessYour house was fully decorated in that sense
You were taken with me to a pointA case of careful what you wish forBut what you knew was enough to begin
And so you called and courted fiercelySo you reached out, entirely fearlessAnd yet you knew of reservation and how it serves
And I salute you for your courageAnd I applaud your perseveranceAnd I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forcesThat I represent
So you were in but not entirelyYou were up for this but not totallyYou knew how arms lengthiening can maintain doubt
And so you fell and you're intactSo you dove in and you're still breathingSo you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked
And I support you in your trustingAnd I commend you for your wisdomAnd I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forcesThat I represent
You found creative ways to distanceYou hid away from much through humorYour choice of armor was your intellect
And so you felt and you're still hereAnd so you died and you're still standingAnd so you softened and you're still safely in command
And I salute you for your courageAnd I applaud your perseveranceAnd I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forcesThat I represent
Self protection was in times of true dangerYour best defense to mistrust and be warySurrendering a feat of unequaled measureAnd I'm thrilled to let you inOverjoyed to be let in in kind
And I salute you for your courageAnd I applaud your perseveranceAnd I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forcesAnd I support you in your trustingAnd I applaud your perseveranceAnd I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forcesThat I represent
