In My Heart

This has been a year full of trials and tests

My wife and I have worn them like vests,

I examine my motives and they are pure

So as I write the following, please be sure.

That in my heart, there is still a happy song

In my heart, there are lyrics; so sing along,

In my heart, is hidden another Hershey bar

A third row of seats, so take a ride in the car.

In my heart, there is a season of great healing

Souls are saved; altruism is what we are feeling,

There is genuinely peace on Earth, no more war

Jesus with us and to the saints, He has restored.

In my heart, I visit you to see if you desire a verse

In my poetic compositions, there is ever a thirst,

In my heart, the children play safely with their toys

Smiles erupt among adults who hear their noise.

In my heart, there is a season of jubilant celebration

All are eager to share; there is a living participation,

There are Sherpa being shaved with sharpened shears

To make the kerchiefs that will wipe away the tears.

I meet Dr. King, who has revisited his speech, At last

We look to the future, no longer a slave of the past,

I hope to see you there as you play your unique part

Who wrote it, this poet and the beating of this heart.

In my heart…
