Thankful For The Resilience Of The Heart Poem by Jim Yerman

May we be blessed to acknowledge all the wonders in our life
that have, for us, thus far accrued…
and to begin each day with a word of thanks…
and thoughts of gratitude.

Today I'm thankful for the resilience of the heart
That, while keeping the rhythmic beat of life for every,
Man
Woman
Girl
And
Boy
also has the ability to absorb our deepest sorrow
while at the same time releasing our ultimate joy

How even after the loss of someone we love
the heart has the wherewithal…
To help us deal with the sorrow of never seeing them again….
by reminding us of the joy and honor we had
in knowing them at all.
