Happy Valentine's Day
The heart is an amazing organ…without it we wouldn’t exist
which is crazy when you realize it’s only the size of our fist!
Four weeks after conception…well before we officially arrive
it begins to beat and does not stop until we’re no longer alive.
The heart has a magical capacity for love...as everybody knows.
The more it loves and is loved the stronger that it grows.
Our brain is used for knowledge but its our heart that guides the way?
In fact, the heart is so important…it has its own holiday?
Valentine’s Day is a day that has set itself apart
as the only holiday we have that celebrates the heart.
A heart that nurtures us while dancing an energetic but delicate ballet
a heart that must be treated with kindness not just today…but every day
Because the heart provides a daily a lesson for all of us to see
that even though it is strong and sturdy…it can be broken easily.
I think a fitting epitaph for any of us when we depart
would be that we were gentle with other people’s hearts.
So be gentle with each other’s heart today, celebrate with candy, flowers or a kiss
and keep in mind this whole thing started with an organ no bigger than your fist.
