I've Learned
I've learned to trust in love,
an ever rushing flow through the veins
that gushes in pounding heartbeats,
an ever sense of joy.
I've learned that in the silence of night
one hears the beauty of a new morning,
soft as a petal opening on a rose.
I've learned that age is no more beautiful
at the beginning of a day
as it is at the setting of the sun.
I've learned that all things are lovely
within each precious memory of the heart.
