Feather of the Heart

I take a feather from my heart and I want you to take it with you

Then I will know forever more that you will always carry my love, 

deep inside your heart 

May this feather of my heart always illuminate and help you to rise 

I pray that on the wings of our love our hearts will be guided, 

so that our spirits are one 

When we are apart, I will try to be strong 

When I wish to see your face, I close my eyes, and you appear 

I hear the words you speak and placed inside my heart; 

That my heart will be the greatest feather you could ever earn. 

My heart is in gentle touch of your hands, like a feather; 

as you speak, you call me your loving heart 

I am anxious for us to be together once again, my great love 

I will comfort your heart by placing my hand over it 

For it is within your heart that I will always call home 

I take a feather from my heart and I want you to take it with you 

By taking this feather from my heart, 

our spirits will never be apart, 

for I will always be with you 

For all eternity.
