Heart

My heart is shaped like a love heart With different compartments inside The largest compartment being LOVE Centre stage and always my guide KINDNESS is another compartment For of acts of kindness bestowed Valued and forever remembered Accrued along my life’s road HUMOUR has a compartment I consider it my hearts fuel Laughter, fun and good times For entry is the golden rule MEMORIES sweet and precious Has a compartment of its own Abundant with optimal happiness Mine and mine alone SADNESS unfortunately is a compartment Containing disappointment, loss and bereft Yet in there is also appreciation For having had the gift of the ones who have left Down the bottom of my love shaped heart Is MINDFUL the smallest compartment in there Containing hurt and wrong doings An ongoing reminder to be aware

Dear Deb, You have beautifully encapsulated the complexity of the heart, with each compartment a testament to life's myriad experiences. From love and kindness to humor and sadness, each emotion finds its place within the contours of your heart. I loved how your words are filled with a deep understanding of the human condition and the need to cherish every moment, whether joyous or sorrowful. Deb what a heartfelt reflection on the essence of our existence. - Blessings, Daniel
