Open Book

 

 

If I am an open book,
will you stop and take a look 

 

and read beyond the pages
of the stories that I tell?  

 

Will you take the lines I share

and hold them to your heart?

Will you promise not to
let them rip and fall apart?

 

 Will you glimpse the beauty,
and see the path I walk?

 

Will you hear my truth
underneath the shallow talk?

 

For words can be so empty,
but our souls can say so much.

 

And love is shown in action,

in kindness and in touch.

 

So I will try to hear your soul
and learn to listen more.
 

 And maybe we can find each other
through love's open door.
