There In The Heart Lies

THERE IN THE HEART LIES

There in the heart lies
The truth of one’s character,

Not the appearance of one’s flesh,

But the thought’s of one’s mind.

There in the heart lies,

One’s true, unique personality,

Not a moment of acquaintance,

But a lifelong visual picture of one’s self.

There in the heart lies
One’s golden dreams,

Not the stories that come from sleep,

But the future that is stored up inside.

There in the heart lies
One’s character, personality, and dreams,

Not a fake, but a lifelong being.
