~ Raggedy Tattered Heart ~
She never knew a stranger, and cared for all she encountered.
She gave with her heart.., her body and her soul
Constantly finding new strength when she tired..,
A fresh smile for a new friend.
As she matured, deep inside her heart
There was something missing..., something unknown...,
Some growing mysterious need...
A need that craved..., yearned for Love.
For some, Love never comes to stay...
But, for a fortunate few..., the ability to Love
And demand nothing in return...
To give Yourself completely,...unconditionally
To be there when someone needs you,
To know they are comforted by your presence
And depend on your strength...
The shattered, red velvet shreds of a broken heart
Can be mended,...sewn together with silken threads of touch,
Soft satin meaningful words,...
And patched with colorful velvet hugs
A heart that gives love
Unconditionally...
Becomes hurt sometimes..
Sometimes it's torn...
Sometimes...it bleeds
This is the heart i wish to have..
One that is used,... tattered and ragged
From giving of itself
To make another happy...,
Comforted when needed
And Loved...
This is the heart i wish to have...
This is the mysterious craving i have longed for
Giving of myself..., with my heart...
My need has been satisfied
