Home of Hearts


A little girl got hurt today,

Sad and alone with nothing to say.

I saw you sit beside her,

helped her hold her head a little higher,

You made her smile, 

And her laughter was heard for a mile.

If only you knew

The problems you had helped her through.

If only you could tell

How you saved her from herself.

And gave her a life

She hadn't known before pain cut her like a knife. 

But you had seen her that day

And helped her chase her self hatred and anger away.

You had shown her what it meant 

To be happy once again. 

And you have helped me find my way

In this difficult time of day

The time where I sat down

In the middle of the town.

When I was alone

You reminded me I had a home

A special place in your heart to forever roam.

And I thank you.
