Hearts

when we hear this word 
what do we think? 
Love, Joy, Laughter? 
Sorrow, Sadness, Grief? 

How about the odd things? 
The things that we leave out. 
Selfishness, Condemning, Grateful! 
Generous, Invisible, Cruel. 

Are our hearts good? 
Do they work evil? 
Do they rejoice in truth? 
Or laugh in the condemnation of others? 

Many names... many faces. 
but who molds them? 
HeArtS... 
Our Hearts.
