Heart

I was created fragile
Meant to remain mild
To usurp all that comes with time
Upon moments I rely
For that defines my life
And with lessons I thrive

But the passing time had me shaped
Concealing the real purpose I was created
Toughened and hardened till I baked
Craving with time to be saved
For the burden in silence sails to no avail
Until there seems to be no pace
And My frailty finally broken with age
