It’s the heart afraid of breaking..

That never learns to dance.
It’s the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance.
It’s the one who won’t be taken,
Who cannot seem to give,
And the soul afraid of dyin’
That never learns to live.
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long,
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong,
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun’s love
In the spring becomes the rose.
I say love, it is a flower,
And you its only seed.
-Bette Midler
That’s beautiful and has given me the kick up the ass I’ve been needing today/all week.

Beautiful poem; and to paraphrase a half-remembered quote: “And it’s the heart that’s been broken that learns to love more completely”

Coco, you should not attribute this to Bette Midler. As lovely as her singing is, she did not write this song. It was written by Amanda McBroom.
