A New Heart

You were once the love of my life, but over the years, things have changed. Now you are my closest friend. Funny how life gets rearranged. Your pain and fear run through my veins, as though they are my own. I just want you to know, if it’s up to me,... you’ll never be alone. The journey you’re about to take has your life embraced in fear. I was so afraid you’d shut me out. Not allow me to be near. But by your side I’ll stand faithfully and pray for your rapid healing.. It’s not totally selfless though. I need you here for my well-being. For you have become a part of my life that I couldn’t live without. A lifetime of not hearing your voice, would break my heart, no doubt! So, keep this little poem of mine always close to your heart. And know that I’ll be by your side, to help you with your “new start”. Copyright: October 17, 2006
