A Plea from the Heart
Sometimes my mind seems to get in the way
My thoughts seem to grow like huge stones.
It's then that my feet won't respond, won't obey,
And won't go where my heart yearns to go.
My arms too refuse to extend helping hand
Or pick up a handset to call.
My ears cease to hear the ever ringing of bells
That chime and chime on when one calls.
My eyes cannot see all the need through the tears,
And the pain that doth blind from within.
It is when these times come that I need you the most,
But the words to call you just don't come.
So, please let your heart lend a listening ear
To the words that seem trapped in my heart.
And caress all the feelings I'm yearning to share
And shelter me in your embrace.
‘Cause I do need you , Love, that one thing is true
And I really hope you love me, too!
