Who Can Depend On You

Who do you love and who loves you?
Who do you talk to and who talks to you?
Who can you depend on; who can depend on you?
Look mindfully around, open your eyes and ears
Stop shedding useless tears.
Accept the life you are in,
Without focusing on mindless fears. 
Give some part of yourself,
Allow others in; live and let live.
Learn to love and forgive.
Open your overly cautious heart
Allow joy to enhance every part 
A heart not open, cannot believe
A heart not open, cannot receive
Who do you love and who loves you?
Who do you talk to and who talks to you?
Who can you depend on; who can depend on you?
