*god* The Heart's Grandmaster Poem by Sheila Mapeshoane

*God* the heart's Grandmaster

When all you need is...
a warmer shoulder to cry on
a softer pillow to lay your worried head
a comforter to help wipe your tears

When all you long for is...
a caring heart to feel and share your sadness
a loving hug to soothe your pain
a comprehending ear to listen to every heartfelt thought

When all you desire to have is...
a prayerful partner as you embark on your spiritual journey
a faithful soul mate to mature and grow with
a willful supporter to share your vision with

When all you wish for is...
an understanding partner to love and care for
an enduring friend in whom you'll trust and share the desires of your heart
a genuine companion with whom you'll embark on a life's journey

It is in the midst of all the longing when it becomes clearer that the fulfillment of all these needs/desires/wishes of the heart are secondary to the Grand Master of the very heart *God*, who is the INITIAL quencher of them all!
