The Balance
She finds him there all gruff and dark
She is love and silk and light
She knows the beast that takes her man
His need to make things right
The scars he bears for none to see
She touches with her soul
Her love for him does save him
From a life alone and cold
Her auburn hair and shining eyes
Bring warmth into his world
When the rage is past and duty done
Her arms will him enfold
Her gentle ways do sooth the beast
And temper judgment痴 hand
When horrors in the world around
His rage for justice fan
Her softness makes him stronger
Her reason makes him think
When the cup of wrath he passes round
For evil ones to drink
That others need to fear him
Gives her cause for no unrest
She knows what values drive her man
That his intentions are the best
Knowing all she does of him
And loving all she knows
The two of them exemplify
The Thorn that loves the Rose
