My Heart

As I sit and leave the world behind
I write a poem that comes to my mind
My words are gentle loving and kind...
I have a poet's heart

When I look into your deep brown eyes
As I feel your touch, I fantasize
I respond with soft whispering sighs...
I have a lover's heart

I long for a love that I can keep
And for a goodnight kiss before I sleep
Sometimes in the quiet night, I weep...
I have a lonely heart

My daytime dreams are of life and such
At night I dream of a lover's touch
Some people may think that I dream too much...
I have a dreamer's heart

I stand on my own two feet each day
I work very hard to earn my pay
I'm proud of myself in every way...
I have a survivor's heart

There is one thing that I hope to never own
That would be a heart that is made of stone
Even though at times I'm so alone...
I have a hopeful heart

I know my heart has been very blessed
For it will never be second-guessed
The memories I hold dear are best...
I have a happy heart
