the whites...

Let us not air out our dirty laundry in the world of cyberland,
Let us speak in third person so that no one will understand.
Someday we'll be old and grey, with a house upon the hill,
We'll laugh and shrug and drink our tea, questioning our will
To have made things work in times of impossible circumstance.

I love you not because you are perfect but because I am not.
I have faith in God and grace, though neither can be sought.
I mustn't miss the lesson, though it aches to learn it.
A heart can break and burn and crumble but love you still must earn it.
Lead us not into temptation in times of impossible circumstance.

To wear a heart on one's sleeve is better than none at all.
So soldiers and sons be ready when the general comes to call.
For death, taxes and love evade no man and are as inevitable as breathing.
So let love and hope and honour soothe your lips even when you are seething.
There will be an answer, even in times of impossible circumstance.
