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.
