Andrea Dietrich Poet Acrostic

Dear Heart

Dear heart, you’ve lived through much,
Enduring trials since your early years.
All you ever yearned for was a gentle touch.
Rewards did come to you, but also fears.

How you used to hope; how you used to dream!
Early on, you realized some dreams aren’t what they seem.
Adulthood showed you this.
Reality is far from bliss
Though sweetness too you’ve known to get you through!

Oh, dear heart of mine – you have known love -
Friends and family have been the gifts thereof.

Many have been my blessings; many have been my woes.
Inside of me, dear heart, you still beat on and on.
Never have you failed me yet, but well do I suppose
Everlastingly you will remain when even from this earth I’m gone.
