'Visible Hearts' Poem by Linda Winchell

If we all somehow had visible hearts
Say they had a window over them to see.
We might not ever un-cover our chests
For everyone else to see.

We might view some of them cold as ice
Or others as black as coal.
And some might not have one at all
Where their heart should real go.

There may be some that only beat when they’re happy
And some slow as they grow sad.
Then some might never beat at all
And that would seem horrible and very bad.

I guess God knew what He was doing?
When He placed a skins cover over them.
So that we would be viewed by others
After they have known where we are going and have been.

Have we followed Christ or Satan?
Have we been giving, kind, and good?
All of these things we might view
If there was no covering over our hearts
No hood.

Therefore, I guess we had better be on our guard
And best Christ like behavior too!
Because someone might have x-ray vision
And look straight into the hearts view of you!
