"Baby!"

"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."   - From "The Little Prince" by Antoine De Saint-Exupery


My heart speaks to me sometimes
Whispering sweetness, speaking of joy
Rising above the bitterness being yelled out
From a confused and mistaken mind
Like an incense or a perfume

My heart speaks to me sweetly
Calling your name: Baby!
And it all comes back to me
Like a welcomed comfortable deja vu
My being is filled with joy

My heart speaks to me truthfully
And there is not one solitary regret
No traces of sadness or sorrow
And I am stripped naked in this truth:
I honestly love you with all of my heart

My heart speaks to me softly and gently
Calling your name: Baby!
All my pride and righteousness disappear
All that is wrong is made right
Because my heart recognizes my Baby!
