| 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’s 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 |
