Two Paths
A love poem
“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood…” – Robert Frost
Your heart makes my heart
Sing a little song
Your heart makes my heart
Want to sing along
Your voice makes my voice
Ring out a little clearer
Your truth makes my truth
Feel a little nearer
Your depths make my depths
Like standing in the shade
Your soul makes my soul
A little less afraid
Your gaze makes my gaze
Focus on what’s real
Your scars give my scars
Their friendship while they heal
Your heart warms my heart
Like standing in the sun–
My path met your path
In a wood, and now they’re one
