A Heartache Healed

Categories: Sorrow

I have a heartache that no one can see
For it’s hidden deep internally
Occasionally showing itself by a streak
As a tear escapes and flows down my cheek.

Yet there is a way that this secret sadness
Gets removed and when I’m filled with gladness
It is when from a heart that is open and true
My small grandson says, “Grand-mère I love you.”

When I hear these words spoken from the heart
They encourage me to make a fresh start
Look around me to see what I can do
For there are others who need me to love them too.
