Heart To Heart
Sing sadness now and again, but still sing
Kneel for forgiveness, yield weaknesses, kneel
Raise your head high for the banner you raise
In your heart keep me always, let me in
Made honor your sacrifice, courage made
Mined hope from ashes, life lessons you mined
Pain gained from your sorrows, gained strength from pain
Time lost before is never wasted time
Carry love, sing, a joyful tune carry
Rejoice in my love, in all things rejoice
Lead your hymn solo, and me you will lead
Praise many virtues, though tis love you praise
Love never leave you empty handed, love
Mine heart is golden, treasure always mine

This is what is called a Shadow Sonnet, beginning and end of each line must be identical or
a homophone. Harder than I expected.
