Heart On Display

Now that I put my heart on display
Please oh please don't make me put it away
Walls so high it hid behind 
Always afraid of what it might find
Now it's seeing bright sunlight
Wondering why it was locked up so tight 
Feeling the warmth of the sun 
Now it knows life has just begun 
So please oh please don't make me put it away 
Now that I put my heart on display

Christine S, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about you're poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. You're New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
