Hearts

James T. Staples

A heart may be wrapped up in roses
And trimmed with some mighty fine bows;
Or a heart may be broken in sorrow
For reasons....God only knows.
A heart may be kindled with hatred
And lined with a harness of stone;
Or a heart may be bursting with passion
From which seeds of affection are sown.

A heart my be strong as a lion's.
Expanding with honor and trust;
Or a heart may be shriveled in treason,
Deceiving all that is just.

A heart may be bold with adventure
And imbued with clouds of romance;
Or a heart of a bona fide skeptic
May believe, but given the chance.

A heart may be various and sundry things
As we pass through this live dark or fair;
But one think is perfectly certain,
A heart must be handled with care!
