Instead

Keep me away from the wisdom which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which does not bow before children.” ~ Khalil Gibran ~ 

Instead 
Give me that sadness that bears joy in it
That pain that carries the deepest love in it … 
That darkness that discloses the brightest light … 
So that I may know the depth of it all 
The beauty of it all …
The gentle, tender strength of it all
And feel completely alive … 
But you can not give this to me … 
You can only help me discover
That I have it all inside of me …
