Heart Shades

Loving innocence pulses a babe's heart.
Infants receive life with fresh pureness flared
In time, wee ones absorb all their life charts.
Love and other renders sweet pureness mared.

No heart escapes feels from love, pain and scorn.
All chose a weak or brave heartbeat array.
Some hearts retain pure bits, some turn forlorn,
and some burn emotions in fear's ashtray. 

My own heart shines opal hues simply bright
from feels most radiant and blued pains mixed,
then glossed in faith caught drops of fluid light.
Either way, my opal heart beats thus fixed.

Perhaps, heart gemstones pulse knowledge to solve
how all newborn hearts may with love evolve.

Whatever the issue, love is the answer. I taught my son that when he was quite young, and I still remind myself of that truth. Good to see you. Many thanks ... CayCay
