(Mary Kelso)
When my heart lays down
In that little bed
And I skip those beats
When he loses breath
Every sigh he takes
Every pain that wakes him
I am listening to my heart
When my heart falls down
On that hallway rug
And I bruise inside
When he needs a hug
Every step he takes
Every fear that shakes him
I am watching o’er my heart
When my heart leaps high
In success and health
And my breath won’t come
When he risks himself
Every score he takes
Every fall that breaks him
I am picking up my heart
When my heart lays down
All my well laid plans
And my grip is torn
When he leaves a man
Every hand he takes
Every love that makes him
I am giving up my heart
That’s so sweet it makes me want to cry. It’s so true.
Very well written and oh so sweet 🙂
They are our heart, but oh so much more too!
