Please Cling To This Heart

If no strong wall is found and you cannot reach the top of my castle, please cling to this heart. Others may give more than happiness, find in me comfort and true compassion. Please cling to this heart, oh, cling to this heart... and embrace it and embrace it, to find the strength to hold on anytime you're weak. Feel it with gladness, it's a light that warms darkness; smile...you've found that patch of blue, please cling to this heart. If beautiful roses cling to windowsills, look! My arms are open... to let you in on any day. I perform no miracles, but I'd love one somehow; be the reason I live and breath, white flower of spring, lead me to that sunny field... please cling to this heart. Entered in John Heck's contest, "Dear John".
