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.
