'The Heart' Poem by Linda Winchell

The heart is a fragile muscle
needs to be exercised every day.
It breaks if not filled with love inside
of the love that was taken away.

The heart is more then flesh
that pumps blood through every vein.
It sooths the need of the human spirit
in time it heals hearts from the pain.

Be gentle with this heart of mine
I have been healing that part of me.
For I had a love so deep inside my heart
so deep inside you see.

I might let another love me
again another day.
But for now I need to heal this heart
in every passing heart fulfilling way.
