And love in a heart locket.

Source

Build your walls stronger
Create your days wiser
Take time to reflect and remember

You have the answers inside your heart
Never let anyone drag you down
Or pull your spirit apart

There are angels in the midst
Everywhere you go
You find them in small glances
In smiles that twinkle
In sometimes the most unexpected
Happenstances

Let compliments wash over your soul
Let beauty cleanse everything you know
In heaven there is only good
The rest are spirits wandering
Aching to be understood

Remember this truth
That any unkind remark
Could never be uttered about you

Keep joy in a pocket
And love in a heart locket
Leave anything else behind
Your spirit can only hear the kind

You can only trust beauty
It can’t help but seek you out
Dear Child, you are loved completely
Even in the deepest slumber of your dreams

You never have to doubt or worry
I’ll always be here by your side
Just stop a moment when times are tough
And know that everything you are
Has always been, perfectly enough.
