Those are beautiful, Holly. I'll listen to the song now.

I like a few lines from General Public's "Tenderness" (and I also like the song), because they are a good reminder of the value of tenderness:

"Seems like without tenderness there's something missing.
I don't know where I am but I know I don't like it.
I open my mouth and out pops something spiteful.
Words are so cheap, but they turn out expensive.
Words like conviction can turn into a sentence."
