Fragile Heart

I will give my heart to thee

And place it in your hand.

And hope you’ll hold it tenderly

And try to understand.

That my heart holds all my love

My hopes and all my fears,

And the scars from all the wounds

That pierced it through the years.

But the pains felt in the past

I can truly say,

Are not carried in my heart

Forward to this day.

But my heart is fragile,

Like bone china fine,

And I could search a thousand years

To find a heart like mine.

That also knows the pains of love,

And so I say to thee,

Here is my hand to hold your heart

When you give your love to me.
