The heart that opens up,
to the word around her,
allowing the wind to blow,
through the curtains of her window,
is able to embrace love,
when it presents itself at her doorstep.
Full of joy she opens her arms,
recognizing kindness,
when it presents itself.
She buys flowers,
and puts them on her table,
and bakes a cake to share with friends.
She laughs in freedom,
and speaks her mind,
when someone asks her a question.
Unafraid she presents herself,
to a world so different than her own.
She has faith in her Creator
and awaits His presence full of love,
and when He comes,
she presents to Him the same woman,
she has presented to everyone else.
Her soul blooms in the knowledge,
that someone loved her,
before the world ever could.
She does not hold on to rejection,
but finds peace in her temporary solitude,
relying on God to provide,
new and exciting adventures for her life.
When the heart opens up,
trust is able to find peace,
in a world so fickle in her being,
because she belongs to God,
who carries her in His hands,
and bring her more love,
than any human being ever could.
