Lift this heart <br />Bill Lindenmuth <br /> <br />You raise my spirit with a smile <br />You lift me higher <br />Then I deserve to be <br />When I am feeling down <br />You take me by the hand <br />You lift this heart <br />To higher ground <br />Without a single word <br />Without a sound <br />When my world is tumbling down <br />You stop the turning <br />When things are looking bleak <br />You find the light <br />You catch each tear that falls <br />You kiss it dry <br />You hold me close to you <br />And then I sigh <br />You lift this heart <br />You take me higher <br />You guide me to <br />The place I want to be <br />You raise my spirits <br />You help me believe <br />You lift my heart <br /> these eyes can see <br />Some days I scare myself <br />With unwanted fears <br />I stood there shaking <br />For so many years <br />It happened all inside <br />I kept it hidden <br />But you looked at me <br />And your eyes could see <br />You came to lift my heart <br />And hold my hand <br />To help me look inside <br />And now I understand <br />Just who I really am <br />You set me free <br />You lifted up my heart <br />You helped me to find me <br />So now I catch your tears <br />I kiss them dry <br />I gently hold your hand <br />I ask you why <br />You look at me and smile <br />I hold you close <br />Remembering all we have <br />Much more then most <br />It seems that it was there <br />From the very start <br />When you smiled at me <br />And lifted up my heart<br /><br />William Lindenmuth<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/lift-my-heart/
