You were full and fully capable   You were self sufficient and needless   Your house was fully decorated in that sense      You were taken with me to a point   A case of careful what you wish for   But what you knew was enough to begin      And so you called and courted fiercely   So you reached out, entirely fearless   And yet you knew of reservation and how it serves      And I salute you for your courage   And I applaud your perseverance   And I embrace you for your faith in the face of adversarial forces   that I represent      So you were in but not entirely   You were up for this but not totally   You knew how arms length-ing can maintain doubt      And so you fell and you're intact   So you dove in and you're still breathing   So you jumped and you're still flying if not shocked      And I support you in your trusting   And I commend you for your wisdom   And I'm amazed by your surrender in the face of threatening forces   that I represent      You found creative ways to distance   You hid away from much through humor   Your choice of armor was your intellect      And so you felt and you're still here   And so you died and you're still standing   And so you softened and you're still safely in command      Self protection was in times of true danger   Your best defense to mistrust and be wary   Surrendering a feat of unequalled measure   And I'm thrilled to let you in   Overjoyed to be let in in kind.
