Will you let me hold your heart,

Even just a small part,

A fragment of your love so true,

To keep close, cherished and new?

Let me hold a piece so small,

Yet it would mean the world in all,

A token of trust, a precious shard,

A glimpse of the love we both regard.

In this exchange, a tender token,

A bond unbroken, a promise unspoken,

I’ll cradle it gently, with utmost care,

Knowing your heart, I’ll always be aware.

So let me hold this tiny part,

And I’ll protect it, never depart,

For even a sliver of your heart’s grace,

Will fill my being, in its embrace.
