The heart, such a delicate part
of the human anatomy
because it can be so easily bruised,
so easily hurt, and easily broken
but sometimes when it needs to be,
it can be one of the strongest parts
of our body and it will
carry you through when
all else has failed.

Everyone plays a part while
trying to protect their tender heart
but it breaks so easily and sometimes
it is so very difficult to repair
and make a new start.

So sometimes you have to try
to not think with your heart
but you will find that this is where
the love that you feel will always
start and that is in the heart.

Take the time to think about
what you are doing before
you involve your heart if you can
but remember the heart
is always hungry for love
and that it has to be fed
or you will just feel dead.

Give love to others
and you will receive
all of the love that you need
but learn to protect your heart
from the very start.             Jon  York            2013
