The Things My Heart Desires

The Things My Heart Desires
By Collin Jung
What my heart desires,
Is where my loyalty lies.
Trying anything, being anyone,
I hope it’s without much ail.
If I want to be a king, reigning over all,
Helping the poor and feeding the hungry,
I know I shall prevail.
If I wish to be a blacksmith,
I’ll work my hammer all day
Smashing away and creating
The greatest tools ever made.
And if I am ever in the darkness,
Without light or even a match,
I shall use the fire in my heart, burning so fiercely
It would put you in a trance.
But what my heart desires,
Is to be young and free,
Yet the only gift I can’t give it,
Is time,
The most desirable thing.
The lesson I hope you learn as you read,
Is to be joyful and playful and do as you please.
So when the time comes in the end as it will,
You will not regret all the things you gave your heart,
And be at peace with all the things it gave you,
As well.
