Where the Heart Resides

That will teach them to assume,
All the things they thought they knew,
Raise the bar, be bold, ask questions,
Take the time to search intentions,
Look at others and look at your own,
Don't assume unless you know,
And even then test again,
Because words can be fickle, and make pretend,
Inspire thoughts, make them think,
To reevaluate the value of things,
They'll be surprised at what they find,
Learning where the heart resides.
