If you follow your heart
You might find that it has more to say
It may know you best
It just may show you the rest
Of the life that you have hoped truly existed
With your eyes wide open
Your guard down
Placing one foot in front of the other
and just taking the steps
That your heart lays out for you
There’s no rush
No time clock
No one forcing your hand
Just a choice to let your heart take the lead
No more forcing your eyes closed
No more butterflies in your stomach
No more turning back
Just accepting, trusting footsteps forward
Then maybe you’ll find a friend in me and
The love you needed for a time
The sun will shine
The clouds will lift
The rain will stop
and the birds will sing
In time for your new life to begin
Glad to have you back again
Stronger than ever before
Trying, willing and ready
to see me as I really am
The me you see every day
When you look into the mirror
Don’t forget to open your big beautiful eyes
Oh how glad I am to live once again
The Mirror©
