Poetry by Sybil Shearin

If You Could See Inside My Heart.

If you could see inside my heart

What a wonder you would see.

It's not very pretty inside there

But it keeps perfect time by the Master for free.

If you could see inside my heart

You could feel the love I have in that small little place.

All I want to do right now

Is to give you a tiny little taste.

If you could see inside my heart

You would see the hurt and pain

I put it all in the back so it can't come out.

I colored it all black over and over again.

If you could see inside my heart.

You would find one part is not very full.

I colored it blue because I feel lonely sometimes

Of course it could quickly change to a sapphire-like jewel.

If you could see inside my heart

You would find one part abundantly full of love.

God placed it there with His own hands

It surely came from His home above.

So when you come to me

Be gentle and tenderly touch my heart to help it mend.

For God in His great wisdom said, "Greater love hath no man

But that he lay down his life for a friend!"
