The Heart

The heart is a fragile creature
Subject to the whims of others
Influenced by realities outside of itself
Dragged down at times by grief and pain
Longing for wholeness in a world of brokenness
Wishing for things it can’t have
Lamenting all that could have been

The heart is a masterpiece
Made for more than this space and time
More whole if attached to its Creator
Deriving worth from a better source
Not denying pain but overcoming despair
Knowing there is always hope
Believing for better things to come…
