If Your Heart Isn'T Big Enough

If your heart isn't big enough
your arms will be too weak to hold someone
who aches to be held
If you close your mind to someone's need
you will never lay eyes on the beautiful flower
that could've been, had you paid attention
If you turn away
your ears may never hear
the words that were almost spoken
