Care Instructions

Do not soak, do not bleach,

do not tumble dry.

Care instructions for a heart

that so easily can die.

Do not hinder, do not lie,

give no reason to fold.

Warm with promises of love

and memories retold.

Take my hand, hold it,

send warmth to my heart.

Wrap me in your arms, leaving

no reason to depart.

Care instructions must be honoured.

The rules are only fair.

I’ve given my heart to you;

handle it with care.
