In a tender heart, fathomless
In eternity's vast field of flowers
All will come to grow, to know
Along with the blooms are no thorns
Then time would be a welcomed guest
Where a heart so splendor is selfless
In its garden all come to grow, to know
Here the blooms would have thorns
When touched evokes such pleasure
Yet can cut even caused to bleed
To take hold of this was my joy
As I held it in the palm of my hands
I will rejoice evermore at this afterall
There is beauty in pain when to gain
To purchase that of greater value
It will always be well worth the sacrifice
So it will always be to truly love
To lay it all down, even one's life
To trust that another will cherish
They will honor your open heart
Will love as the rolling sea giving selflessly
Yet in doing so, suffering will come, as joy
The pain of unfaithfulness, of rejection
They come as you open your heart
To never love is to never live
As the air we breath, so is to love
When one we love is taken away
We grieve in the hope of such loss
To never grieve is to have never loved
Feel the beauty that is life
Smell the aroma that fills the air
We will know if we live long enough
