GENUINE

In the cool November breeze
I sit alone
Sadness all around me
But I feel so calm

I hold my hands around 
A cup of earl grey tea
And like the hearts of my friends
It is warm and real

I’m not one for reaching out
I will curl up on my own
But a simple act of kindness
Can open up a world

I feel gratitude for the simple words you say
No agenda just honesty 
And strength to see a new day

Are you genuine 
Do you mean what you say
Are you genuine
Do you mean what you say

I’m sorry for my mistakes
Bad decisions that I made
Trust and forgiveness count 
So much in these
Shallow days

Are you genuine 
Do you mean what you say
Are you genuine

Keep me strong
You keep me moving along
Give me faith 
You keep me moving along
You give me hope
You keep me moving along
You give me love 
You keep me moving along 
Genuine
Genuine
Genuine
Genuine
Genuine
