today …
I just wanted to say,
my heart is open
my friend,
to you
and I will always
invite you in …
when burdens feel heavy
and stones are in your shoes
when your heart is weary
and you just don’t feel
you
I know what it is to carry
the heaviness
of clouds
I will share your pain
I know this fear
your walking in
for these are footprints
I can recognize
when the world starts to
prickle
and breezes tend to
bruise
when you have suddenly become
delicate
and very,
very
small
I can feel this too
and if I could,
I would take it all away …
but then a piece of you
would be missing
and I
would be missing too
my heart is always open
and I will invite you in …
to share your smiles
and your tears
your strengths
and your .. less than’s
my ears are open,
my shoulders strong
and even if it breaks my heart,
I will continue to carry you with me
to brighter days
until we find a nicer
spot to sit
to sip our tea
and view the world
with a gentle kindness
and Love
if ever there comes a time
when you should need
me
I am always here
in the centre
of my open heart
and I
will always,
always
invite you
in .. ♥
