Flowers of the Heart

Deep within the sanctuary

Of our soul there is a glade,

Where the grass is always green

The flowers never fade.

Nowhere is a garden sweeter,

Than the one love’s own hands tend,

There affection falls like sunlight,

Warming and awakening.

Everlasting are the blooms

That nourish the heart,

Little lights, little shadows,

Who can tell the two apart?

He who plants the smallest kindness,

Sows indeed a mighty seed,

For through years, like little acres

Only love uproots the weeds!
