Deb M Poet Rhyme

-Heart

My heart is shaped like a love heart
With different compartments inside
The largest compartment being LOVE
Centre stage and always my guide

KINDNESS is another compartment
For of acts of kindness bestowed
Valued and forever remembered
Accrued along my life’s road

HUMOUR has a compartment 
I consider it my hearts fuel
Laughter, fun and good times 
For entry is the golden rule

MEMORIES sweet and precious
Has a compartment of its own
Abundant with optimal happiness
Mine and mine alone

SADNESS unfortunately is a compartment
Containing disappointment, loss and bereft
Yet in there is also appreciation
For having had the gift of the ones who have left

Down the bottom of my love shaped heart
Is MINDFUL the smallest compartment in there
Containing hurt and wrong doings 
An ongoing reminder to be aware

Daniel Henry Rodgers April 29, 2024 at 7:36 AM Dear Deb, You have beautifully encapsulated the complexity of the heart, with each compartment a testament to life's myriad experiences. From love and kindness to humor and sadness, each emotion finds its place within the contours of your heart. I loved how your words are filled with a deep understanding of the human condition and the need to cherish every moment, whether joyous or sorrowful. Deb what a heartfelt reflection on the essence of our existence. - Blessings, Daniel Deb M May 3, 2024 at 1:43 PM Your wonderful comment puts my poem to shame Daniel haha!!
