Where the Heart Is

There are those whose love is undying
Their presence like the richest soil
Creating warmth for others to bathe in
Their open arms a home for loved ones

I have known you for years and years
The gift of life so evident in every word
Every deed born from the warmth within
A golden heart that beats for us all

You never deny anyone the shelter of your warmth
Sharing each and every joy
But you keep your sorrows to yourself
And you have never muttered a curse

There has never been any room in that heart
For anything but the genuine love
That adorns everything you do and say
A purity that stands alone within you

I would have asked you to promise me
That you will never change who you are
But I know that I need not worry
And I know that you will always be you

With the smile of a thousand suns
And a love that is beyond comprehension
You are one of the truest human beings I know
A person that is almost too good to be true

I will never understand how you do it
A sort of magic that few people are capable of
But comes so naturally to you
Like a beacon that guides us all back home
