<p>Through smiles of woe

And tears of joy,

A venture does

The heart employ.<p>

<p>And brave and bold

The heart that sings.

And walks the sky

On golden wings.<p>

<p>The mind (cannot

The heart control)

The beating ones

Almighty foe.<p>

<p>With paranoia

Doubts and fears,

The mind delays and

Marks the years,<p>

<p>And hesitates

Where heart would go,

Without a backward

Glance to note.<p>

<P>To control the mind

Is easy.

To control the heart

Is to die<p>
