From a Lonely, Bitter Stone

Once my heart was made of stone

Cold and hard, it stood alone

But then I met a gentle soul

Whose kindness made my heart whole

I felt a change, deep inside

As walls I'd built began to slide

Love seeped in and warmed my core

And all the hurt I felt before

Slowly faded, like a dream

As hope and joy began to gleam

I saw the world in a new light

And felt my heart take flight

Now, my heart beats with love and grace

And every smile I see, I trace

Back to the moment when I knew

That my heart had changed, and grew

From a lonely, bitter stone

To a warm and caring home

For all the love that I can give

And all the joy that I can live.
