What a Heart Knows

And so the story goes.
And so the days move on.
Another notch this heart knows.
Older, wiser, same old song.

Life throws its sticks.
Life throws its stones.
This heart’s been kicked,
but this soul knows home.

The smile will not fade.
The eyes will still shine bright.
For love is not a grade,
to be measured as wrong or right.

The living risk the loving,
and the living I have done.
Moving on is one’s own choosing.
Wallow in pity, or walk in the sun.

And so this story goes.
Far from being done.
When love is what a heart knows.
It’s the only song that can be sung.

Carry On

Carry on,
and be at peace.

Hear the need around you.
Reach out and lend a hand, and carry on.

Feel the hand that reaches out,
and fill it from your share, and carry on.

See a kindness. Feel some love. Share it from your heart.
Pass it around, and carry on.

Touch those wounded souls,
by opening your heart, and carry on, and be at peace.

I Trusted Love

I'm unsettled in my new life,

down a road I've never been.

It's not the life I dreamed of,

when I was just a teen.

I thought one day I'd have it all,

convinced beyond all doubt.

But now my back's against a wall,

and my time is running out.

What to do, and where to turn.

So many things I haven't learned.

I sit alone, always concerned,

I trusted love and I got burned.

Looking forward...

Danielle

May the past that lives within your heart
hold only memories you treasure.
And may the future that you're dreaming of
you receive in full measure.

I wish you much happiness, peace and success.
