The Heart

Just a little tenderness,
just a little love;
the heart brims with humanness,
gentle as a dove.

just a wish in every heart,
that seems out of reach
'cause we rarely play our part,
the heart yet to bleach.

how awesome the world would be:
heaven right on earth,
where like salmon in the sea,
we swim in life's mirth.
