The Strongest Link

Your heart's a receptacle for your soul, and separates the animals from Man. It's that inner voice that says, "Yes, you can," vetoing instinct; free will takes control. And you feel that you're a part of the whole, trying to understand how life began. Feelings tend to pool deep within your heart, a reservoir of happiness and pain. And though drained, over and over again, it retains enough Hope, for a new start. Under the threat of dreams falling apart, trust forges the strongest link in love's chain. The human heart is where emotions form a conscience, and feelings define the norm.

This is rich with tenderness and hope... it dissolves the hardness of the heart and reminds us that we are built on love. I love it. A fave. God bless you and thank you for the wonderful example. Love, Gina
