My Heart Is Full

My heart was full of hate for many years Spewing anger, spite and many tears I wasn't willing to listen to anything new Just because I was different than you You ignored my insults never a mention Of how I hurt you just for attention My heart was full of low self esteem Because my father's heart was black and mean Your heart is always full of sweet compassion When these days that is never in fashion A sweet gift you are willing to give An example to us all on how to live My heart is becoming full of your love Grace to change from God above Its never too late for an old guy like me To change my heart and be set free My heart is now full of joy It wasn't too late for this old boy So open your heart and if you do I have plenty of love to give to you My Heart Is Full Poetry Contest Sponsored by: Cindi Rockwell 9/13/19

Welcome back from the dark side my friend. You're right. Life is a marathon... not a sprint. Have a good night.
