Of Love and Pride

They say, you can help not a man to redemption,

Who wishes not to be redeemed;

You can save not a man,

Who wishes not to be saved;

And you can offer no help to a man,

Who wishes no help;

For he, is the pride that speaks.

And then within pride,

There is a man,

Who is so in guilt and regret,

For the choices he made are but his sins;

There is a man,

Who wishes for salvation;

Who wishes for his soul to be whole,

For in the darkness, it had scattered apart;

He who wishes nothing but to be forgiven,

He who finds salvation in punishment,

And who ultimately finds redemption;

In every man, is a man who wishes to be salvaged;

But he says not, for his pride says not.

But she sees beyond the pride;

She sees what he wishes no one to see;

'I wish not to be redeemed,' says he,

But she knows different.

'I will be your salvation,' replies she,

He says not a word.

After all, it is what he wishes for, is it not?

And so he says not a word,

And she becomes his salvation; saviour;

She mends his broken soul,

She makes him whole again;

And his regret; guilt; give way to love,

He is forgiven; and he is loved.

They say, you can help not a man to redemption,

Who wishes not to be redeemed;

You can save not a man,

Who wishes not to be saved;

And you can offer no help to a man,

Who wishes no help.

But she, love; says:

You can help a man to redemption, salvation,

For his heart wishes it.

His pride stops him,

But when pride gives way,

A broken soul speaks,

And wishes nothing but help;

And she helps a man whose soul asks for it,

And so she redeems, salvages his soul;

And makes him whole again;

Pride says, 'I need no salvation';

She says, 'Feel love, and salvation shall be yours'.
