Hardened By Time

The heart I have beats silently alone As dark of night weighs heavily on me The morning sun shall see it then as stone A hardened crust that everyone will see Yet winds, in time, may carry dreams aloft So maybe hopes will one day then be real To one adored, so beautiful and soft, I send my hopes and dreams to her, to feel I pray that time befriend this lonely heart I, too, wish that her heart remains with joy With windblown wishes, that I will impart My every ounce of strength to then employ So she will then soften this heart of stone Destroying that which left it all alone
