My Heart

Craves the joy I feel from you
Drives me toward all things true
Whispers when I’m off my path
Warms every time I laugh

Cries at the faults of man
Encourages when I feel I can
Races when I’m out of breath
Stops at each little death

Holds my honest expression
Teaches with each heart felt lesson
Hopes with every single beat
Gives courage when I can’t retreat

Strongest when compassionate
And love won’t let it forget
Shares its rhythm with everyone
Tells me so when I AM done
