The Courage To Love Again

They stole my heart When I was not look Then they tortured it And stamped all over it Until it stopped beating All love was to them Was four little letters That was thrown about Almost flippantly They came They went With absolutely no Idea of what they took From me But i summoned courage To love and to trust again Just like Maya Angelou, still I Rise And OH I realized that it is wise to whisper The letters L.O.V.E to bring my heart ALIVE. Perhaps my old heart was lacking But now the new one is humble& Happy Looking back i can finally understand That i was guided by a loving hand Telling me "You won't break Because you are learning how to bend" Then i knew only LOVE can mend I have a new heart It is called COURAGE, the courage to Love Eric Mbotiji... PEACE.
