First Line: I took my small dreams from my heart
Last Line: I put them back like new.
Subject(s): Healing; Hearts; Love; Cures
I took my small dreams from my heart
And laid them out to sun.
I found some worn quite shadow thin
With color streaked and run.
A few I thought I would not keep
For they had grown so old,
A drab cerise that had been pink,
And one of tarnished gold.
A little bluing from the sky,
White clouds to rinse them through,
And after they had sunned all day
I put them back like new.
