PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

The heart is an amazing organ…without it we wouldn’t exist

which is crazy when you realize it’s only the size of our fist!

Four weeks after conception…well before we officially arrive

it begins to beat and does not stop until we’re no longer alive.

The heart has a magical capacity for love...as everybody knows.

The more it loves and is loved the stronger that it grows.

Our brain is used for knowledge but its our heart that guides the way?

In fact, the heart is so important…it has its own holiday?

Valentine’s Day is a day that has set itself apart 

as the only holiday we have that celebrates the heart.

A heart that nurtures us while dancing an energetic but delicate ballet

a heart that must be treated with kindness not just today…but every day

Because the heart provides a daily a lesson for all of us to see

that even though it is strong and sturdy…it can be broken easily.

I think a fitting epitaph for any of us when we depart

would be that we were gentle with other people’s hearts.

So be gentle with each other’s heart today, celebrate with candy, flowers or a kiss

and keep in mind this whole thing started with an organ no bigger than your fist.
