as you opened my mind and peered inside...
you smiled, and I blushed, 'cause I could not hide.

your smile...cheery, sure...that came as no surprise...
but I sense a broken heart, when I look into your eyes.

broken hearts are rampant here...and you know, it just ain't right..
take my hand, I offer it, and hope you'll have the sight.

the seeing that comes from deep within..and understanding too...
as humans, we all make mistakes..I'm sure you know it's true.

have I learned from them...I hope so, I try harder day by day,
and forgive those who have troubles too...that's one way to repay...

some things have more value, than I could ever give...
and for those, the only way to pay, is just by how I live.

live to give...and understand, never judge or ridicule...
everyone, can turn their life, from dirt...into a jewel.

there is a second chance in life..for every one, you know...
to get them, you must give them...then you feel the glow...

the warmth of giving, in your living, today is a new start...
forgiven and forgiving...can heal the broken heart.
