The Heart, Given Poem by Maurice Harris

If you have not given your heart,
There is no one who may break it;
If you do not allow its depart,
You ensure no one may take it!

Yet, if this is your true posit, firm
You will ne'er see your heart's glory;
Only will your stance then wholly affirm
The path that is inherent in your story!

You will surely fulfill your own prophesy,
Though should you want for your due felicity
You must do yourself this one courtesy-
Love someone, brilliant in its simplicity!
Alloweth yourself to be loved as well-
Your happiness, this only, shall foretell!
