Love's Persistence

Love's persistence


Drip...Drip...Drip...as drops fall to the rocks below

Split...Split...Split... the rocks split open from the persistent flow

Try...Try...Try...I try to penetrate your heart of solid stone

Know...Know... Know...I know with persistence our love too can grow

Open...Open...Open...your heart cracked wide open for me

Now we know with love's persistence our hearts can be together and be free

Well expressed, some hearts just have a protective concrete facade. Persistence is indeed the key.
