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,
