Heart Like an Egg

There is a lot to us
And all there to be enjoyed
Take this mind
Talk to it, read it,
play games with it, humour it,
nourish it, bend it,
love it, hate it at times

Take this body
Talk to it, read it,
tease it, love it,
use it, look at it,
humour it (if you must)
share it, leave it at times

Take this soul
Read its poetry, love it,
leave it, feel it,
ravish it, hold it,
see it, understand it,
dont understand it at times

But this heart
It can sail, it can dance,
it can build homes
and heal wounds
and break down walls
yet it is like an egg
if you take it
take it with Tenderness
always hold it with Tenderness

Its like an egg.
