My Heart Realized
I realize now that my greatest blessing and curse
Was that I had a big heart
A heart so big it allowed the greatest possibilities
One that nurtured dreams I knew not but saw light of through the eyes of my dearly beloveds
I realize that I have an artistic heart
One that wrote poems and songs for the souls that needed feel a sense of recognition
It be once or more, by me and those that choose see light in their dim nurtured lives
Even if it was just for a dream
I realize I had the most empathetic heart
That I forgave the ill treatments and neglect I had received excusing them of their downs when I too was down
That I watered seeds with water I long walked for before my own for I saw their possibility of a bloom
Even if it was just a dream
I realize that I had a patient heart
One kind and forgiving,
One that saw beyond flaws even if mine were the first they saw looking at me
I realize I had a heart of a soldier
That I would fight for my people and a cause with my outmost all and in fierce loyalty even if it is seen of me when I am gone
I realize I had a heart that overflowed with love
That I could not give only to my own but to my people
That I could never choose to love one in ignorance of their wrong,
Instead I would love them to the best I know they know they are wilt
And so my story goes
