TIMELESS ROMANCE OF THE HEART

LIFE SCARES
THEY SAY THE WORLD IS AROUND AND YET I OFTEN THINK ITS
SQUARE SO MEAN LITTLE HURTS WE GET FROM CORNERS
HERE AND THERE BUT ONE GREATEST TRUTH IN LIFE
I HAVE FOUND WHILE JOURNEYING TO THE WEST
THE ONLY FOLKS REALLY WOUND ARE THE ONES WE LOVE THE MOST
THERE ARE THOSE YOU TRULY DESPISE MERE TEMPERS DO THEY RISE
STRANGERS CAN AROUSE YOUR WRATH IT�S TRUE
ANNOYANCE IN YOUR HEART WILL RISE
THINGS MERE STRANGERS DO
THOSE ARE ONLY PASSING ILL'S
THIS RULE ALL LIVES WILL PROVE
THE WRINKLING WOUND THAT ACHES AND TRILLS
IS DEALT BY ONES WE LOVE THE MOST
THE CHOICEST GARB THE SWEETEST GREARE
ARE OFT TO STRANGERS SHOWN CARELESS MIEN THE FROWNING FACE
ARE GIVEN TO OUR OWN
WE FLATTER THOSE WE SCARCELY KNOW
WE PLEASE THE FLEETING GUEST
AND DEAL TO MEANLY THOUGHTLESS BLOWS
TO THOSE WE LOVE THE BEST
LOVE DOES NOT GROW ON EVERY TREE
NOR TRUE HEARTS YEARLY BLOOM
ALAS FOR THOSE WHO ONLY SEE IT CUT ACROSS ATOMB
BUT SOONER OR LATER GROWS PLAIN TO ALL
THROUGH SORROWS TEST
THE ONLY ONES THAT HURTS YOU MOST
ARE THE ONES YOU LOVE THE MOST
