Awaken Thy Heart
By Paul Wilson


With eyes open we gaze upon ourselves
Visions of what we are… what we’ve become
Looking at the world in a different way
Searching through our past and where we’ve come from

Tomorrow is near or is it yesterday
We turn away and our mind becomes a haze
Our future will soon be tomorrows past
Before it's too late embrace these days

Let your heart be gentle and kind
Share it with all…kindness is free
Be the one that says I’m sorry
Open your eyes and let your heart see

We can make a difference with just a smile
A gentle touch or word spoken softly
Let your heart awaken to a new you
Share this gift of love with all you see

Be the one that says I care
Show compassion in all you do
Make the world a better place
Just become a better you


"To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you"

passing shadows...Thanks for that very nice reply. Just some early morning ramblings, not sure if it would make sense or not.
Glad you enjoyed it...Paul
