THE HEART
THE HEART
The heart is a complicated, complexity...
it holds the key to beauty and dreams,
to wisdom and strength,
to hope and faith, to Love that always lasts
The heart knows the meaning of fear,
the depths of pain,
the struggles within that can't ever be explained
The heart knows all about letting go of the past,
learning to forgive and forget,
finding the faith to still give, despite the worst you've
seen
The heart knows about insecurity,
the fear of being left alone, without that special
someone
The heart knows about making mistakes,
failures, finding the strength to go on
despite that struggle
The heart is an amazing thing
it has the ability to grow stronger through pain,
to become more, to gain
from the sadness it has seen
The heart understands
even when the mind says that we've nothing to gain by
being a friend,
sharing our strength, being there for others when they
are in pain
The heart is gentle, yet strong,
