"strong Heart"

Our hearts are strong, with a glow like a candle...
They never really break, just sometimes mishandled...
Don't hide it away for the few who didn't treat it right...
Open it up to blossom, for there may be a prince in sight....
Mine has fallen prey to some who have led with mistrust...
But I stood tall and waited for my time was not rushed...
A heart and feelings are sometimes misunderstood...
Another's wants and needs are not always read as they should...
Yours eyes should be as open as your heart, because with each
day a new love could spark....

It is quite an important message to not become bitter or keep grudges when someone hurts you for people do unfortunately, because we are still so not in sync to one another. It is good advice to remain strong in our heart. To never loose faith and hope no matter what comes along the way for storms eventually die, but the sun never will and so it is with God's love. Thanks for sharing. Caroline.
