I keep the love close at heart

As I try not to fall apart,

I keep the spiritual close at hand

I struggle sometimes to understand,

Why life can be so cruel and hard

To those of us who strive to be kind,

So I keep the love close to my heart

And try not to fall apart,

While living life as it is an art,

Painting days with various beautiful colours

Living life as if there won’t be another,

Abstract thinking lifts me to higher plains

And this manages to keep me sane,

Which is why I keep the love close to my heart

And keep myself from falling apart,

I keep the light close by and banish the dark

And I seek to create a universal spark,

So I keep the love close to my heart

Which stops me from falling apart,

And enables me to be kind, smile and laugh

At this life which can be cruel and harsh.
