This heart of mine, vulnerable it feels
Never breaks when it’s supposed to
Keeps me going even through hell
So painful, wonder why I keep it
How I wish I could just throw it away
This original piece of flesh, the love of my life.

So many take it away, or so I give for free
They hurt it the most, parasites to my love
Never are they grateful for this special part
Always taking me for a ride
Like I was just a pony, a prized pet
It hurts me more, just to say it.

This golden heart, tried and tested
This beautiful heart, weak and meek
This principled heart, resolute with love
This big heart of mine
Will be the downfall of my life
The demise of my resolve.

I have dreamt of heights unreachable
Fantasized the top of the mount of Zion
The scenery of the valley below, lush and well
Where life is all but joy
That which keeps enticing me to hang on
That is the joy of my dream.

This journey that I started
It’s one I can’t stop, it’s just one way
Why the pain, if I can’t get to the sweetest of the season
Why have I risked falling?
I am not at the pinnacle of my journey
I will take every step of the way
With this big heart, bold enough for every load.
