Normally not a big fan of concrete poetry, but this one I like. Beautiful message, and instructions to the Reader. Enjoying the range of your other works too. Also thank you for your recent comments about one of my Poems; the only one of 185 Readers to do so (lol).

Gosh Sara.. this is prayerful, poetic brilliance. I prayed in this moment, as requested, but I hope that all the prayers that went before made a difference. Sending love x <3

Yes, Sam. I was born with a hole in my heart which is not a rare thing about 1 in 4 people have that most never know it. They also found a tumor in my heart but the last time I had a heart check-up, the doctor said he did not see the tumor. It was a benign tumor so no danger in that regard. Thanks for the visit.

Heard of people being called half-hearted before. Also, Have A Heart.

Thank you, James. I was born with a hole in my heart and also developed about 9 years ago a tumor inside my heart wall. I have had problems with arrhythmia and fatigue and at times a very fast heartbeat, but I seem to be better now except for the fatigue. My condition has put me at an increased risk of having a heart attack or stroke, but I have not had either so God is looking after me. Thanks for your visit. Sara

This was one of the first poems I read on PS when I met you Sara, I wrote one of my first poems on PS about Poetry Soup being a welcoming Group, and your heart that I prayed for. You welcomed me, and I stayed <3 You are such a precious blessing to Poetry Soup, and to me. God bless you! <3 Thank you for your visit to my poem and your prayer for my daughter and newborn grandson, it means so much to me.

BJ, Thank you for revisting this one. I do hope your daughter and her son do well. I hope the child has a very rich life. When the doctor gave me the diagnosis back about 9 years ago, I figured that I would not live very much longer. I think the prayers have kept me alive. My health and energy or maybe my being able to do what I would like are not what I would like it to be, but I am still able to do some things for myself and for my husband and grandson who lives with us. Sara

Bill, I could feel your prayer. I have lived 8 years since I found out about my heart problem and I know it is from the prayers of people and that maybe God has some purpose in my life. I appreciate the visit and the prayer/s. Sara

Richard, I am not that familiar with Lewis Carroll's work so I will have to check it out. Your visit is uplifting. I hope that you did place a curved/ cupped hand over the right side and prayed. I know that it helps me keep living ..Thanks for the visit. Sara

Sara, I love your poem's shape and message, though I am sorry to hear about your heart difficulties. I pray God will continue to extend your days and give you the peace that passes understanding. Congrats on your #1 win (we both did heart shapes!) and may God bless you ~ John

Sara Kendrick
Date: 11/30/2020 4:03:00 AM

John, Thanks for dropping by. God has allowed me to live about 7 years beyond what I thought I would live. He will call me when He is ready. I liked your heart as well. It seems to me that I may have written or tried to write one where the heart is filled in with the poem and that is not so easy getting the shape correct. Your comments are appreciated. Sara

When I had heard the water dip, On the floor, I took another slip; Wobbled a bit, And had to sit; Then on God did get tighter grip. Almost lost Jill to Pneumonia causing a cardiac arrest. Is doing okay now so far. Jim Horn 77 and married 52 years.
