In My Heart

In my heart I hold you always
like a treasure in a chest
where I keep the things I cherish
safe as bird eggs in their nest.

Because your heart is big and it dances to the melody of birds.
A cozy little nest very well described. 🙇♂

Parce que ton cœur et grand et qu’il danse à la mélodie des oiseaux.😇
Un petit nid douillet très bien décrit. 🙇♂
