This is great. A person who has a true heart melts when a baby is born, a two year old playing, sees an act of kindness in helping an elderly person, caring for a sick child and my list could go on.

Reminds me of the tin man's line in the Wizard of Oz: "Now I know I have a heart because it's breaking!" Beautiful! Congrats on POTD!!! ~Cindi~

This is a hard hitter, a few simple words capable of provoking infinite thought. I think it an excellent Monoku worthy of its own t-shirt, porcelain, poster, etc. After my Wow, I thought, yes and they melt most slowly. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
