I Have My Heart To Play Poem by Peter S. Quinn

I have a heart to play
it plays a song for you,
and never the same will stay
in tones that get through.
My words are for life's singing
it's lyrical poetry,
and hearts together stringing
to make each love free.

I have a mind to keep
and give of what I know,
it shall its thoughts reap
when it's my time to go.
Like seeds become a flower
and everything goes on,
I have my ways and hour
before my time is done.

I have a mind that's singing
to world that is apart,
and new thoughts to it bringing
by giving my own heart.
With lyrics that I made
to make the days a while,
and then to the hours fade
or be its new ways beguile.
