Heart's Desire

Sometime I wonder how to seize control Of my vagrant and foolish heart How to confine it to its prime role To sweet fragrance of love impart To burn in the flame of love And fret not in anguish and despair Life has burdens severe and tough Endure the treatments foul or fair The turbulent seas of lust and greed Rocking the vessel of society’s scruples Turmoil, conflict and Strife breed Banishing civility, integrity and principles Let the light of love and kindness glow In the darkness of the hour dense Let the stream of benevolence and compassion flow Seek not a reward or recompense.

Loving like we should is one of the hardest things that we as humans have to do..Loving is not easy..It is much easier to go our way filled with selfishness..Great work that expresses the topic you have chosen on which to write and great presentation..Thanks for stopping by..Your review is much appreciated..Sara
