This Little Heart

Where do I start?

Do I say what they see?

Do I give what they don’t?

But what they don’t has been covered by what they may,

Yet I don’t have to say…

Oh this little heart of mine…

Things I cannot explain have come over time.

How do they work?

A place unseen do these feelings come.

Sorrow and joy lie on the same bed,

Causing a conundrum I see ahead.

Beaten, torn and tossed aside,

Yet he decides to beat…..rivers of tears flow

Oh this little heart of mine.

What is unseen is yet manifested by what is,

He gives to the world yet receives pain

Do I continue?......

I lie down, awake I stay for awhile

Rest does my mind take when I lie away.

Oh this little heart of mine

You will rest when the time has come.
