Heartbroken
Heartbroken
Don’t cry because love has flown away,
smile because you’ll love again someday.Quote - Poet’s own.

Come my dear and sit awhile with me
beneath this comforting willow tree
Have a rest and let your mind be free
of your heartbroken anxiety.
Willows weep to glimpse the heartbroken
and restore peace for mixed emotion
A haven of calm serenity
to restore shattered tranquility.
Come listen and hear the sweet birdsong
release anguish you've felt for so long
Tears are healing in sorrow and pain
allowing one’s heart to sing again.
Someday it won't ever sting at all
only the tenderness you'll recall
For there's nothing lovelier truly
than a love that meant so much to thee.
Treasure the first whispered "I Love You"
hold it near and dear, forever do
Remembrance of a love's sweet refrain
is a song played down memory lane.
If only shared kisses could be kept
they would overfill a treasure chest
Every one a precious diamond gem
fragments of the love they represent.
Memories are truly heaven blessed
moments much too precious to forget
Warming one's heart in so many ways
in glorious dreams of yesterdays.
