​‘The Way We Are’ by Carole

I give and give and give some more
All fuelled by love and nothing else
And when I've got no more to give
I find inside there is some more

Love is unending
Love prevails
Love goes through the storms
When our strength fails
And we are spent
We rise again
We rise again

For who can stop love?
It is like a river
That flows to the parts of our loved ones soul
And makes them feel safe and secure

We have bad days
we mess up
We lose our temper
And feel we have failed

Yet no one is perfect
And it's okay
God knows we crack from time to time
Because we are human vessels

It's love that mends
The carer and the cared for
And honest truth
Of sorry when we fail

Then we embrace
Or see in their eyes
That our relationship
Did not break

Human, messy, tears and despair
Anger, pain and end of tether
STILL we find strength for another day
As God's peace, joy and love is our true strength
