My Heart

My heart is strong and sensitive It has been broken many times But filled with love, I like to give Far beyond the words in these rhymes My heart has led me many ways For things I love, bring sanity Survival, a theme many days There is no room for vanity Then, there’s the heart issues with health To manage it, to keep beating To feel peace fulfilled, is my wealth To let certain things be fleeting To share it closely is a risk But to see someone smile repays, Warmth in cold fears that may be brisk It beats in my purpose these days Heidi Sands 12/22/20
