If you've been hurt in the past
you may have a protective barrier
that keeps others from getting too close.
Don't let past experiences discourage you.
Better to sew up your old wounds
than dance with old ghosts.
Learn to be resilient; heartache is part of life.
Give up fear! Cross the threshold to courage.
Open your arms as wide as you can.
Love, love, love the world
and the world will love you back.
