HEART—we all have one that some of us share
While others take a pass on the openness snare
Especially if it means they must FEEL to partake
At the HEART of each matter, bottom lines rarely fake
HEART—it’s for lions, both cowardly and strong
It’s the stuff driving athletes amidst competitive throng
They’re messy things, broken and mended each day
As humans react with emotion like there’s no other way
HEART—the separation between right and pure wrong
A natural order that precedes head thinkers thinking along
It is HEART anchoring passion like roots in a tree
Nurturing love inside humans, needed desperately
HEART—it’s to have and often to hold
It helps define quality-of-life, or so we’ve been told
So suppress your desire to just think things straight through
And instead FEEL with HEART and compassion, decisions anew
