Your Special Heart

One ventricle inside your heart have you
while everybody else I know has two!
It causes you to suffer; this I know.
Yet here you are surviving. In fact, you glow!

Your heart, although not perfect physically
is twice as durable spiritually,
for love to others gracefully do you impart
so well, dear Chantelle, with your special heart

One can live with one ventricle but needs constant attention.

Andrea, It takes a special heart weighed on the finiest of scales to find equal to the two. Love and best wishes to those who find them in your poem. -Richard
