THE LOVE DRAWING

A piece of a young girl’s love

Awaiting another for the heart of the stone

The drawing will be made when the right hearts are found

It will lie unspoken until that day

A part is found of a loving child who cares from mouse to elephant

They are out there I know

But we have to be patient and wait

Who knows how long it will take

Maybe infinity

Let’s find out
