Wild Heart
You've captured a wild heart, be gentle,
for even a wild heart may still break,
so in tending that wild heart, be careful,
and handle her kindly for love's sake,
In your keeping is now a free spirit, be wary,
lest she long to return to the wild once more,
Give her understanding and room for running,
and as much respect as you gave her before,
For she loved you enough to sacrifice,
in coming down from the heights on which she ran,
abandoning the pleasures of wild living,
to permit the touch of your gentle hand,
Remember, she was captured by kindness,
and your fears of her leaving this will allay,
You need no fences to keep her with you,
love is the rope that persuades her to stay,
Yes, you've captured a wild heart, but remember,
though she'll come if you whisper her name,
She is still a wild heart, so I beg you,
Please don't make this wild heart of mine tame.
