A Place for my Heart
by Brenda Ehmka

I have this little box you see
I handle with great care,
It's a very special box for me
I keep my heart in there.

I let it out from time to time
It helps me learn to share,
I hope the lessons that it gives
Will teach me how to care.

I know that if I'm careful
About whom I give it to,
That I can learn my lessons
And also learn from you.

I hope that when you have it
Very careful you will be,
For a heart is very fragile
It's the biggest part of me.

So if I trust you with my heart
Please don't go astray,
I wouldn't want for us to part
My heart put back away....
