No More Duck and Cover

No more duck and cover or hiding in plain sight. 
No more hiding your heart in a cave
No more running from your Canadian goose self. 
It’s time to come out and face the dandelions

The rest of us are showing our heart
And gladly, especially me. Mine is out there for the world
To pluck, to primp, to stomp, to slap and to pinch.
Your feelings should be on the clothesline.

Ready for anyone to see if they wander into the yard.
Your heart should be sitting on top of the roof, smiling.
No more duck and cover; no more running from your emotions.
I will help you if you like.
