THE HEART IS A NARROW PATHWAY

The heart is a narrow pathway  
Where emotions tread  
Love, dread, pain, sorrow, and hatred 
Journey towards heaven's gateway.  

Like a two-way traffic lane
Vessels surf with joy and pain
Weathering storms and hurricanes  
Yet tender care remains the same.  

The heart is a narrow pathway
Not a big and free expressway.  
Though it tempts one to drive freely 
It warns against paths taken carelessly.  

The heart is not an expressway 
But a narrow, winding path—  
Drive upon it safely.
