Anticipating a Heart

by John D Uzzell

You don`t know what will happen next,
there is an unexpected twist.
You find a love,and you get a heart
Sooner or later,you find you missed.

But then it comes,the time for pain
You hurt all over,and won`t know what to do.
Thinking of what you could have had
just waiting to hear I love you.

You don`t for a while,but thats ok.
You go on with your life.
You search for the truth,it`s nowhere to be found
Then you make someone your wife.

You live for some time with the thought
of the love you may have missed.
Its strange to have that thought
You`ve said I do and you had that kiss.

Insecurity is killing you,tearing you to pieces
You remember the days of youth,
you knew exactly what you wanted
alwys realizing the truth.

The truth of life,if there is such a thing,
is to know what is there in your thoughts
The truth of your thoughts is to accept them as they are
take to heart what they have taught.

Knowing what to think is only part of the task
To smile,you will have to know what to do.
Once you smile you can join me in life,
find someone to say I Love You.

There is a grin at first, that won`t go away
You feel it down in your chest.
Burning so deep it takes over your thoughts,
simply forgetting all of the rest

No matter who they are,or where they are from
there is love inside.
no matter what they do,or how they do it
No love can hide.

As we go through time with the thought,
of a love we may try to start.
Look around you and see how many others are
Anticipating a Heart

I really like how you ended this, as an inclusive invitation.
