Candy Hearts

Candy hearts
By Michelle Morris

Sometimes I think 
My heart is filled
With sweetness 
Like candy hearts

Each piece inscribed
With a special message
Memories and moments
Soul reflections and connections

I've collected them with joy
Each and every one
Decade upon decade
Love and light and harmony

When I experience heartache 
I try to reach down inside to my heart
Pick up one of those candy hearts
And remind me of good thoughts

To focus on the positive
Not the darkness or the pain
Let the light expand inside my chest
And give me hope again

And as I move through this life path
I choose to embrace the goodness 
The power of my light within
My heart and soul filled with sweetness
