My Heart

My Heart I once was asked what kind of heart beats within my chest A simple heart was my reply, a heart that tries it's best It's a heart that wouldn't hesitate to walk a friend's last mile A heart that’s fierce but still can melt when it sees a child’s smile  Sometimes it is a selfish heart that doesn't like to break At other times it’s a fun filled heart that loves a birthday cake It's a heart that beats with tenderness for the people in its life A heart that's sometimes worn down from worrying and strife Sometimes it is a restless heart that longs for some adventures But mostly it’s a contented heart that enjoys life’s simple pleasures It’s a heart that’s filled with faith and hope and lots of love to share This heart that beats within my chest, it beats because it cares
