I seek a heart to share my tears, But knows the light that lives in laughter; That shuns hopes lost to shame and fear, To still dream dreams for ever after. A heart that glows in its success, When love is shared with pure emotion; Without a need left to address, Content, from a true pleasure of devotion. For love with peace that seeks itself, From pages of a life well written; Just not a book left on a shelf, But read from that, that all was given. It is for me but to abide, In trueness to a life so blest; Nowhere else should this reside, If not, pray found, within my breast.
