We hear the term 'authentic heart'. How could a heart NOT be authentic?
If the words of songs and poetry of a thousand years be true, there are many things a heart might be,
it all depends on YOU.
A heart might be broken, a heart might even cheat.
It might somehow be hardened,
or lie at a lover's feet.
A heart might cry or even weep,
or be offered to another,
forever to hold and keep.
It might never experience the
joys that are untold,
which can flow from just one instance
of a heart's being bold.
A heart can be loving,
a heart can be cold.
A heart can cherish children
as their little lives unfold.
A heart can be shattered,
a heart can be true.
A heart can be exultant
because it has a friend like YOU.
A heart can be many things that hurt oh, so much.
A heart can be empty,
awaiting just your touch.
Perhaps one day I too will learn,
the how and when of verse.
Then, on that day.......that happy day,
perhaps you'll no longer spurn the love that's offered from the heart of this shy and simple nurse.
