Shape of the Heart

The shape of a heart will change, not completely
But seasoned with the passage of time 
Some will still love, but others will falter
But all say, it's so hard to find

The way, the walk, the road that one follows
The loving, the giving, the prize
If anyone says that their way was easy
Look close at their life for more lies!

Loving is work 
And encompasses the soul
When the youthful years vanish 
And the hearts turn old

The trials of a lifetime
memories...regrets
Hands held so tightly, 
the mind soon forgets

The shape of a heart
will change, not completely
But seasoned with the passage of time 
Some will still love, but others will falter
But all say, it's so hard to find....
