The Human Heart Poem by Sari Mavi

The human heart is the most
fragile organ in the body
Physical pain to the heart can be repaired
through medical science

The emotional pain inflicted
upon it is not so easily addressed
Heart break caused by personal or professional disappointment is difficult to fix

We must not allow repeated internal hurts
To build up a protective wall around our heart
So that we become indifferent
to what is happening around us

We must continue to live with passion and vitality
Do our best and give our all in every circumstance
Feel all the emotions that are a gift to us

Open up the "window" of your heart
Have the courage to live life to the fullest
- including the highest joy and the hardest sorrow

You know then that you are truly "alive"!
