Heart, Soul and Mind

What good is a heart
With no chamber of love, 
Or heaven, in fact,
Without God above.

How worthy is a soul
That has not in it
The spark that ignites
A warm, kindly spirit.

How sound is a mind
That reasons not well,
Confined in a vacuum
Within its own shell.

All three, undoubtedly --
Heart, soul and mind --
Can get us ahead,
Or leave us behind.bbb
