Your Pure Heart

Why do I love you?
Why do I care for you?
It is your pure heart I see, I love, I care
The peel does not matter, it will erode with time
Nor does the sweet juicy citrus that defines you
It is the tiny bitter seed you know not you have
The jewel within you
One day it will fall on fertile soil
And I will watch it grow
Beautiful flowers, Sweet fruits of your effort
And many more seeds will spread in the world
It will be my joy to watch
It will be my priviledge
That is why I love you, my friend
That is why I care
It is your pure heart I see, I love, I care
