To My Heart
To My heart and everything around it, be wise, please I beg you.
You have fallen in traps set for fools bound to fall in love at the wrong times,
and at the wrong places, with the wrong kind of people.
Learn from those mistakes,
and take it from me,
for my heart cannot take another heartache.
You and everything that is good and pure,
keep yourself hidden from the grins
and show yourself to the smiles,
and all the encouraging words that sing in your mind with pride.
Walk through the beautiful prairie lands,
where the roses grow constantly and are never out of bloom.
My heart, I love you and you know that,
don't fall into the dirty gutter,
while walking on the cracked sidewalks of life;
learn how to walk before you start to run,
and don't fall in love too quick,
or you'll end up disappointed and broken;
just like me.
Go on my heart, my love,
and take on the world and smile
and open your beautiful eyes and show your heart,
do not let heartless demons drag you down;
you're better than that,
you're better than all of them,
and you love better, for you are kind and warm-hearted.
Don't take the shortcuts in life,
for they will only leave you lost and confused
looking for eternal answers in the dark.
Go on my heart, my love,
and show me that you are ready.
