The Sacred Heart

The Sacred Heart

The Sacred Heart
Shines radiantly
With all colors
Which are not known
On the earthly plane.
Its radiant warmth
Is beyond all dimensions
And cannot be described
By any earthly measure.
Its size and mystical reach
Are beyond the person,
And when you are open—
You can feel it, too.
Let your own heart
Grow beyond any measure
So you can touch
The soul of Others.
The only connection
Between souls on Earth
Is the Sacred Heart,
And this beyond all measure.
