THE KEY TO YOUR HEART

You've chosen your words in a careful way.
To give such high praise, your so thoughtful to say.
I'm equally thrilled to discover your verses.
If only you knew the joy it disperses.

I'm so thankful dear Steve to have made your acquaintance.
The pleasure's all mine while I savor each sentence.
As for expression, you're on the right track.
For the poetic arts, you have the knack.

The door to your heart only opens one way,
To the inner sanctum where you hold sway.
To unlocking the door, risk is the key.
Face your fear to let ultimate happiness free.

Your beautiful heart keeps touching mine.
So don't be afraid to let your light shine.
Others will see the beauty within.
But only you can let them in.

When you open the door, you could let in sorrow.
But you may learn to love like there's no tomorrow.
Be mindful to know that a wounded heart heals.
And the “greatest of gifts” is the love that it feels.
