My Wall
I’ve built a wall around my heart
A wall created with care -
A wall of brick and mortar
I built it with many tears.
The brick is mistrust,
The mortar is pain.
I’ve been broken and wounded,
I won’t love again.
How much can one heart take?
How many tears can be shed?
I built the wall to shield me
From the sorrow that I’ve had.
My life is fine.....or is it?
Sometimes I’m not too sure,
But my wall stands firm.
I’m safe inside, of this I am assured.
I only let God inside my wall,
With Him there is pure trust.
He loves me the way I am,
And to live for Him I must.
Maybe someday…I’ll let another in,
I can’t imagine why.
Maybe there is someone….
Whose love I can’t deny.
They say great love
Involves great risk.
Can I take that chance?
Can I let someone in my heart again,
And give them my last dance?
