Chapter Two

A person may be chastened on a bed of pain.
Job 33:19

A Gentle Love

I thought I could make him happy
So I became his wife.

Thought someday he’d say he loved me
And I’d be his partner for life.

I tried to give him hugs and kisses
But he turned away from me.

Instead of love I got cuts and bruises
Deep in my mentality.

All you need is a gentle love.
Go out and find yourself a gentle love.

All you need is a gentle love
to heal you, heal you, heal you.

Twenty-five years have come and gone.
I no longer can believe.

Even though I still love him,
I know it’s time to leave.

Twenty-five years of empty dreams.
We cheated and we lied.

God, how can I heal this aching heart,
And ease the pain inside?

All you need is a gentle love.
Go out and find yourself a gentle love.

All you need is a gentle love
To heal you, heal you, heal you.
