Nothing Ventured...Nothing Gained

Nothing Ventured…Nothing Gained

To be cautious and careful when you deal with the heart,

is to be expected once it had been ripped apart.

Nothing ventured results in nothing gained. 

A heart needs to heal once it’s been pained.

I feel the excitement when the heart string is pulled.

Creates a fear that the heart can be fooled.

To live alone is a fate worse than death,

as I venture forward I am holding my breath.

As I feel the pull of forces unseen,

I can hear my heart as it starts to sing.

Can I at last have found my match?

And in me will she think, she has caught her catch?

The heart string is pulled as the music starts playing,

I strain to hear just what it is saying.

Therefore I will do all that I must,

to see if this woman with my heart I can trust.

I shall open up and let her in,

a kindred spirit I hope to win.

Then together as one we will venture in life,

and I shall rejoice that I have found my wife.
