Gentle heart I know that you've felt much pain And that you've said "I'll never feel that way again" But what have you missed Since you've closed your heart? Have you missed the love of one That's been with you from the start? Gentle heart I know that inside you still Beats a tender love That cries out to be fulfilled A love for which you've yearned Every empty day and every lonely night But since you can't find it You wonder, "Is is worth the fight?" Gentle heart I know that you want to walk away But please my love Stay with me just one more day Stay and see the love I have Stay and feel the love I show Stay and hear the words I sing As every day my love for you grows Gentle heart This is the love that I have for you A love that heals And will be for as long as you live But you must open your heart To learn that which I teach Because a heart that will not open Is so difficult to reach -------------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

Sven, you have simply out outdone yourself with this one. I think this one is my new favourite of yours. You say so much with such simple words. Marina PS> Happy Birthday my friend!!!!  It is a blessing to have wings for words, and passion in pen Marina Crossley |

Sven~ You cause the emission of many sighs - 'Gentle heart This is the love that I have for you A love that heals And will be for as long as you live But you must open your heart To learn that which I teach Because a heart that will not open |

I agree woith Marge..these lines touched me But you must open your heart To learn that which I teach Because a heart that will not open Is so difficult to reach ~~soft hugs Maureen |

Sven, what a gentle heart "you" are, my friend. I love the way you've incorporated the line into such a moving poetic appeal. Just beautiful... ~ Claire< !signature--> Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau [This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 08-26-2000).] |
