Speak The Language Of Your Heart Each day we wake is such a gift; No moments guaranteed. Tomorrow isnt promised, But to fate we must concede. We cannot know our futures, How long or short our lives. We simply do the best we can Until the end arrives. And in life, whats most important, In the scheme of every day, Are the people who stand by our sides As we venture on our way. Those cherished, loyal, patient souls, Who take us as we are, Who look beyond our foolishness, Our frailties and our scars. How often do we take the time To lay our hearts down bare And tell them how we truly feel And just how much we care? Do we freely give a compliment And acknowledge efforts made? Or do our own quite fragile egos Make us feel far too afraid? Have we tried to overcome our pride And forgive anothers wrongs? Or do we cling to hurt and anger And carry grudges far too long? Do we share our blessings willingly With those who are in need? Or do we hoard our own good fortune Out of selfishness and greed? Its the people all around us Who make us who we are. It is they who save our erring souls And fill our lonely hearts. So its time we show some gratitude And not wait another day. For before we even know it, Our chance may slip away. Its past time to say I love you And forgive anothers sins. We must let ourselves be vulnerable By letting others in. For one day, tomorrow will not come; We may not meet again. For inevitably, for each of us, It all comes to an end. So go ahead and say the words; Make today a start. Dont regret your silence; Share the language of your heart.
