I Planted My Heart
I planted my heart
I planted my heart
now broken and shattered
So deep in the earth
for nothing much mattered
Then sat on the ground,
my teardrops now flowing
When before my eyes
I saw something growing
The tiniest stem
from the dirt it was breaking
A beautiful green
by now was breathtaking
When then came a bud
this afternoon hour
It seemed like real soon
there would be a flower
But what I did see
that came into being
My face wore a smile
from what I was seeing
For there on that stem
was something alluring
Filled with such joy
and love over pouring
A friendship it seemed
had grown from our parting
I dug up my heart
the healing was starting
And knew on that day
my garden endeavor
Had bloomed as a friend
I’d have for forever
Yes there is still love,
I can’t stop the caring
And that I will keep
for now I am sharing
My life with this girl
with smiles and laughter
And we’ll be best friends
happily ever after
