There lived a lonely frozen heart
Within a widows chest
And inbetween its ventricles
There lay a tiny nest
An egg beneath the layers sat
Too small and so ignored
That egg was made of happiness
And longed to be adored
It sat there still for many years
Anonymous and cold
It wondered why it wasn't felt
When it's essence was so bold
The owner of this egg felt sad
For many years she'd cried
But what she felt she'd never have
Was waiting there inside
She always hoped that love would come
And heal what she had lost
But every man that searched her heart
Was halted by her frost
But one day when she'd given in
And submitted to the cold
She took a look at who she was
And why she felt so old
She searched herself and faced her fears
Her memories, her past
And there it was beneath it all
She found the egg at last
It took some strength to let it hatch
The layers were removed
But warm and free that egg grew fast And how her life improved
