NO BIGGER THAN YOUR FIST

 

 The heart is a wonderful organ, without it we wouldn’t exist…

which is crazy when you realize it is no bigger than our fist.

 

Four weeks after conception, well before we officially arrive

It begins to beat and doesn’t stop until we’re no longer alive.

 

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

In fact, it is so important to us…it has it’s very 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

 

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

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

 

But there is also an aspect of the heart that often goes unspoken

for as strong and as sturdy as it is…

it can easily be broken.

 

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if to describe us when we’re gone…

people use this epithet…

That we were always gentle with the hearts of everyone we met.

 

So as you celebrate each other’s hearts today

some of you will get candy…

some will receive flowers…

and countless others will be kissed

Remember this whole thing started with an organ…

no bigger than you fist.…
