*Your Heart

The goodness of your heart

Overflows when you are near



The love in your eyes

Shows you always are



The tenderness in your embrace

Lets me know you won’t ever let go



I never have to fear you

Or be afraid of losing you



You need to hear how much I care

For the warmth you give me



Always standing by me

No matter what happens



I know you will always be there

How much that means to me



I am so thankful you are in my life

To cheer me up

And put a smile on my face



I can come to you with pain

And leave with peace



You are my heart and life

But I can’t tell you yet



I’m not ready to let go

To give all my trust again



I’m afraid of getting hurt

Of losing you to time



Promise me to stay close

And someday you’ll see



Just how much I really care

For you and your gentle ways
