Sample of my poetry....

I may start putting some of my poetry up here. This is the first time I have ever put it up for the world to see. I am a little nervous! :)

A Heart for You

This heart of mine belongs to you now
It is a strong heart; made that way over the years
By finding and losing what it thought was love
But nothing ever touched this heart the way that you do
It is always happy to see you
Your smile makes it melt; your eyes mesmerize it
Your touch can set it on fire; your gentle voice soothes it
This heart is a good heart
Not too many scars that are visible
Or hide the goodness inside
It tries to see the best in everything
It is not a hateful heart
It will never hurt you in any way
It is an "old" heart
It has lived several lifetimes inside this body
It is a wise heart
It "knows" what can happen
But, it is a brave heart
It isn't afraid to take a chance at finding what it searches for
It is a warm heart
Full of love and affection, it will give you all you need and still have more
It is a patient heart
It doesn't get in too big a hurry; it knows what's worth waiting for
It is an empathetic heart
It will always consider how you would feel
It is not a greedy heart
It will never ask for what you can not give; it will never be able to use "things" or "money"
It is a giving heart
It will give everything to you, freely
It is a careful heart
Ever watching and waiting
But mostly, it is a gift
Giving you love, steady and true, always there for you
No matter what happens
Every time you need it
And this heart loves you very much!
