I searched for some <br />magic place, <br />a place of warmth, <br />a place of grace. <br />Come in, come in, <br />love beckoned me. <br />Come in, come in, <br />I'll shelter thee. <br /> <br />Not here! Not here! <br />cautioned my heart. <br />There is no magic, <br />give it more thought. <br /> <br />I laughed, danced, <br />I dined in splendor, <br />yet my heart whispered, <br />do not surrender, <br />keep searching for that <br />magic place, <br />that place of warmth, <br />that place of grace. <br /> <br />Long was the journey, <br />lonely the ride, <br />for that magic place <br />but my cautious heart <br />kept watch, kept watch <br />until you were by my side. <br /> <br />What peace I find and <br />my heart and I agree, <br />precious is our love <br />throughout eternity. <br /> <br />Dorothy Alves Holmes <br />A Poet Who Loves To Sing<br /><br />Dorothy (Alves) Holmes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oh-the-cautious-heart/
