Through dark despair and joyous laugh

I fight the night to see the path

Each step I take is cautious and wary

Fully conscious of the load I carry

Millions of hearts rest in my hands

I could easily drop one and watch it land

And whosoever owns that heart

Would be denied the lovers part

When someone gives away their heart

It is to me that they impart

This precious gift and special token

Praying the Lord it won't get broken

There's been no damage upon delivery

But countless times I've returned it in misery

For the intended had shown it scorn

Leaving the giver completely love-lorne

I ferry the hearts through time and space

Ensuring they got to the proper place

If it is received with love and laughter

The giver gets their "ever after"
