Balancing my heart and mind does not come naturally
Teetering on life's tightrope, trying to avoid calamity
Striving for equilibrium has always been a chore
I've fallen off so many times and landed on the floor
My heart, you see, it is disproportionate with my brain
Having a heart so large, has often left me drained
However it's the way I'm made, it's essentially who I am
What you see is what you get, with me there is no scam
So over time I've learned to fall and how to get back up
I've also learned to tread cautiously, the rest has been down to luck
Actually, that's not quite true as I've been helped, from time to time
A friend has walked hand in hand with me, whose heart is as big as mine
Side by side, facing opposite ends, we've somehow muddled through
How we've avoided all the obstacles, though, I really have no clue
Especially every now and then when the view has become obscured
Although with our hearts, that are so large, we have each other reassured
What I'm trying to say is two hearts, like minds, are definitely better than one
In fact working together empathically, we have now indeed learned to run
Imagine then, if we all walked together lovingly; each of us hand in hand
There would be no difficulties, great enough, that we could not, withstand
