Held Against My Heart

Oh, can one really blame me for what is held against my heart Perhaps it’s not what you may think not what’s detained or set apart But rather. sentimental glee the memories of those I love I cherish most above all else for those still here and those above The strength of steel cannot compare to heartstrings’ standing, holding fast For what can test the will of love no matter age or time that’s passed So often when the rain does fall and when in kind, my tears may start It’s then. that I have but to pause and feel what’s held against my heart

Thanks for this Mike. We all have memories, and it's not easy to examine them in a positive way so we understand that our experiences have led us to where we are and given us useful knowledge and wisdom. It takes a lot of work and thinking to feel good about all that stuff that's there, even from long ago. Doing the necessary review lets us have a great life in the present. All smiles now and good luck to all who have these memories. It helps to have a good thing going in the present.
