            Heart and Soul

There’s a soul adrift on the sea of sorrow
Dreading the dawn of every tomorrow,
Living on dreams of love now past
Broken promises that did not last.

There’s a shattered heart that longs to mend
Blown about in a painful wind,
Wishing for just one more chance
To join in loves tender dance.

There’s a troubled mind full of hopeless thoughts
That remembers an angel it once caught,
But taken for granted in too many ways
The angel it loved just could not stay.

A love once flourished, strong and clear
Filled with wonder, precious and dear
But too many mistakes day by day,
And slowly it perished and faded away.
