PIECES OF MY HEART

There are pieces of my heart
That love has placed inside
From the time I was a tiny babe
Till I became a bride -

Even after there were added
More pieces here and there -
Of people that I've come to know
Who made me truly care.

Some have faded from my view
But in my heart still remain
For they were instrumental
In making me what I am.

It seems each day I meet someone
Who at least makes a mark;
Some take their place as pieces
Of my ever loving heart.

With family and friends around
It's sure not hard to find
So many pieces of my heart
That I cannot leave behind.
