The Heart
You can tell it
What to do—
Be firm,
Be smart—
But never forget,
The heart has a mind
Of its own;
You can tell it
Where to go—
With whom
To board
And flow—
But even
Little children
Should know,
The heart has a way
Of its own;
You can tell it
How long to stay,
With whom to make
House and play—
Making vows
To never betray,
But the heart
Has a time
Of its own;
Yes, the heart loves…
And the heart roams;
Often new faces
And voices
Not our
Imagined choices—
The heart is never
Entirely known
For sure,
The heart
Is a subject
Alone—
