To That Heart Poem by Cliff Phiri

To That Heart



A prudent heart is the maker of peace.
To observe signs is that you be forearmed.
To understand times is to live victorious.

A smile from a wounded heart deceives.
Regret weakens the soul.
Forgiveness restores the state.
To rebuke is to make.
To review is that you redeem.

The reward of honesty is trust.
Lack of satisfaction leads to cheating.
Cheating gives birth to an ill-legacy.

The man to hold a grudge; the Hamman on his gallows.
The nonexisting phrase on weak men's toungues; 'im sorry'.
To give an ear to instruction is to make a sweet morrow.
To be cheerful in the heart is to moisturize the soul.

To be jealousy is to hate yourself.
Good things can happen to anybody; but a good end is for good people.
Nothing can be hidden till eternity.

Tears flow from the glands of the heart.
An overloaded heart digs the deepest pit.
To seek revenge is that you may please your soul-
But that person is precious to someone else.

To gain wisdom is to equip yourself, but to forgive is to empower yourself.
Sour is the water from a bitter heart.
The wells of the worried heart are dry.
The words from a wounded tongue are poisonous.

To hate is to walk blindly.
To put a bandage is not to heal; to remove the virus is to heal.
To give the words of comfort is not to heal, to purge is to heal.
When hatred looses its grip, there comes revival!
