Whole hearted

If I could just open this heart

And trust myself to know

I can cope with whatever comes

And how it feels to trust

I have an inner knowing

If I could say to fear

Be quiet just a minute

And let me hear a positive voice

Of hope and love and life

If I could just decide

It might be worth the risk

To be whole hearted

And embrace this life

To not run away

Or stay barricaded up

In fear of joy

Then maybe life could be fuller

If I could just love the half full glass

Relishing the taste of what is left

Rather than focusing on what has been and gone

Then maybe my thirst would be quenched enough

And maybe if I could just learn to taste and savour

The sweetness of life and being

Awake and alive in these precious present moments of time

Then I maybe I could find

There is a way to

Embrace life

And be happy

To flow forward

To live

To laugh

To love
