MASTERPIECE OF HEART
The Master once carved
In the finest marble
Something to reflect
His eternal heart
A man and woman
Wrapped in one embrace
It was never meant
To break apart
The marble had one flaw
He warned the apprentice
Stay clear of that place
You'll soon have a chance
To create your own
Loving embrace
Let me be the marble
Where the Master's
Hand has passed
Let me be embraced
By a love
That's meant to last
For we are all one part
Of the Masterpiece of Heart
Just before the work
Was to be unveiled
The apprentice chiseled
In a tragic mistake
Being tempted
To add a finishing touch
It caused
The whole creation to break
The Master's heart
Was crushed
A multitude of hands
Made a mess on their own
And then the wind scattered
What was once
Magnificent stone
Let me be the marble
Where the Master's
Hand has passed
Let me be embraced
By a love
That's meant to last
For we are all one part
Of the Masterpiece of Heart
Then one man
Found a way
To restore the piece
Which had finally turned
To a dust so fine
It's in seeing each person
As a work of heart
We are all a part
Of His great design
Now the marble's
In our hands
We must all become
A loving embrace
For the Master is longing
For each of us
To be taking our place
