My Heart of Stone by Sigurdur HaraldssonI have a heart of stone
or I should say I used to have
It got too constricted in my chest
when I first saw you
a new born life fresh out of the womb
my baby
And my heart of stone
broke, shattered
and the pieces turned to ice
and melted through my eyes 08/31/2007 Author's Note: My second daughter was born this July.

Posted by Genevieve Sturrock on 08/31/07 at 06:15 PM it is the most amazing feeling, is it not? i am not worthy, but i have been blessed with three babies and your words took me back to that instant when i first saw them and knew, beyond any doubt, they held my heart. |
