The Cautious Heart

I searched for some magic place
A place of warmth, a place of grace.
Come in!
Come in!
Love beckoned me.
Come in!
Come in!
I'll shelter thee.

Not here!
Not here!
Cautioned my heart.
There is no magic,
Give it more thought.

I laughed, I danced, I dined in splendor,
Yet my heart whispers, do not surrender,
Keep searching for that magic place,
That place of warmth,
That place of grace.

Long was the journed, lonely was the ride
For that magic place, but my cautious heart
Kept watch, kept watch
Until you were at my side.

What peace I find and my heart and
I agree,
Precious is our love,
Throughout eternity.
