Change of Heart
The heart of man is often ruled by pride
For greedy aspirations never cease.
Yet love would wish to be life's constant guide
And wisdom preach the ways to lasting peace.
You seek to own a wealth beyond compare
And think your worldy cravings rule supreme.
Take heed for life's possessions can ensnare
Release your heart, pursue a greater dream.
Hold my hand and watch a golden sunrise,
And gaze in awe on starry summer nights.
Harmonize with nature, let the blue skies
Reflect a warm embrace of shared delights.
Pursue your quest for riches carefully.
For where your treasure lies, your heart will be.
