Lead By the Heart

I set sail upon the moody torrid seas As waves crashed upon my vessel’s bow My guiding light’s your face, my dear As you, I’ll reach, for this I vow Without a map, nor a charted course No compass guides my wheel to stern It is my heart holding direction near For your image doth guide my every turn Your whispered breath is the breeze that blows For it carries my vessel, through winded sail Guide me, oh siren, let me hear your song Despite greatest of squalls, I shall prevail Then upon your shores, my vessel be Solid or shattered, I shall reach your sand Thank you then for guiding me, I shall Reach to you, only with my open hand Then take it dear lady, t’is meant for thee No gift can I give other then from my heart For the seas are mighty, yet I never lost The gift within me that I now impart
