To Find Your Heart

Your heart is the home your life springs from It’s in every word you utter and every sound you make It’s in the actions and care you show yourself And all that you give to everyone else It’s in the wind full of actions that come from you Becoming directed toward others just like you, too Yes, first, you must surprisingly love yourself Then begin to lend your strength to others to help them out The Stranger becomes a friend who becomes a beloved one Then the line becomes a circle that spirals toward everyone The actions coming from a kind hand will warm the soul That in itself, is the product of a beautiful heart, to know To protect and to care becomes a need, it imparts It builds like the wind in its need to blow sadness away And all from a still place buried deep in your soul That God had already given you so very long ago In this busy and tragic world, this place may be hard to find But it will grow if you practice kindness and keep it in mind

Your third verse is the heart of this beautiful piece, in my opinion. This circularity is the key... paying it forward is something we should all strive to do. Well done, Carol! Best wishes, Keith :)
