The Tinman

The Tinman Well hello there Mr. Tinman What is that you say The heart that you begged for You want to give away I have to ask the question I have to ask you ... Why Is that a teardrop on you cheek Tinman please don't cry Oh I am so sorry Mr. Tinman What you ask of me can't be done Once a heart is given It can belong to only one I understand Mr. Tinman But there is nothing more That I can say I know that you feel Your heart is broken But you can't give it away To own a heart can sometimes Mean sadness but It also can bring great joy It does not come with warranties Your heart is not a toy I can only tell you Mr. Tinman As the owner of a heart It  WILL  sometimes feel As if its broken As if it has been torn apart Your heart is a wonderous gift It can heal itself with love You can find yourself ... Just whisteling Have you yet heard The song of the dove No more tears Mr. Tinman Oh you now agree with me I am glad that you stopped by today I forgot to give your heart its key Just remember Mr. Tinman As the keeper of your heart You must mold it very carefully To love right from the start Do not let it cause a tear Because of What you choose to do Be wise with who you Share your heart Because it still ... Can break in two Goodbye now Mr. Tinman Your future's up to you Feed Back Welcome AspiringAngel If I Only Had A Heart (Extended Version) - The Wizard of OZ - Jack Haley TRIPLES with EMMA

Wow, I love the voice, soft and sympathetic, empathy seems to root itself
in the passion, and there is passion, overflowing, beautifully done,
the presentation, graphic, its all blissful, the technical depth is so subtle
and really accentuates the meaning, thus intensely strike the reader's heart.
this's lovely and a favorite to grace my library, thank you.

It fits as perfectly as if it was written then

An amazing poem! ilike the way it's in a nice, tech way. Spoken as though you were an angel perhaps. The rhyming scheme and flow is wonderful! The life lesson is beautiful and so very true! Cute and beautiful at the same time!

And tears make me rust too! lol I wrote a poem from the Tin Man's perspective many long years ago where he was asking Oz about instructions for his new heart, had forgotten all about it until reading this. Great job here. I enjoyed.
