Heal, Little Heart

Heal, Little Heart
Forget yesterday's pain
Believe in today's dream
In tomorrow's promise

Heal, Little Heart
You are not a fool to love
You are not too demanding to want
You are not too selfish to crave

Be brave, Little Heart
Don't go to the grave feeling unloved
Believe in the resurrection
of faith, of hope, and yes, of love

Hold on, Little Heart
to your self worth
You are of value,
of immeasurable worth

So, love yourself, Little Heart
You are too precious for scars
Too fragile for rough handling
Too loving to be scorned
You need to be adored

Hold on, Little Heart
I will rescue
I will protect
I will nurture
I will love

For you're the only Little Heart I have,
and if to no one else...
you are dear to me,
for you are mine to cherish. 

Heal, Little Heart
Please, heal
