In Your Gut

What you feel in your gut Can’t be called right or wrong For your gut’s where the strongest Emotions belong. Both your brain and your heart Filter feelings you hold, Which may soften or change Based on things you’ve been told. But your gut takes the kick And the way you react May determine if you Can survive it intact. With a poke from your brain And a nudge from your heart, You can temper the kick Without falling apart.

Absolutely spot on, Ilene and written in rhyme. The medics could learn much from you… given time. There’s no brain, heart, gut link in medical texts, so how can they cure what no one expects. So well written and so well said. Terry

So true Ilene, gut feelings can be so strong and it is wise to follow them - I found especially as a mother when my son was ill. hugs jan xx
