Life is a vital force we all have. It is happiness that keeps life going from the start. Feeling good about ourselves can keep us going, And how we sustain life are matters of the heart. The physical heart can keep the body alive, But it is the spiritual heart that defines who we are. It can be seen through her eyes, smile, and actions, As well as her inner beauty which is as bright as a star. The heart beats inside this caring personality And warms with graceful love and tenderness. It radiates with adoring kindness and compassion And gleams within a good nature with benevolence. With these qualities that are illuminated within, Her spiritual heart brings out the best qualities in others, Which are love, joy, peace, meekness, and patience, Basically everything the Fruit of the Spirit covers. However, there are some people who mistreat the heart, And sadly, it is the abuse of the spiritual one. They bring upon it the cancer of wickedness And can take away the kindness until there is none. This hardens a tender heart Making it more difficult to beat. Cruelty can make a warm, kind heart Turn cold with insensitivity, not so sweet. It takes someone who is also good natured and tender To uphold and nurture a kind, adorable heart, Or repair the damage that was caused By someone prideful and jealous which can tear it apart. We must give her love and show her affection To keep her heart going strong, And she must be given unconditional kindness, Because it is her happiness that is desired all along. Her heart must be embraced with loving affection Just to show that she is loved and cared for. It also must be caressed with passionate feeling So that she knows she is special and needed even more The care of the spiritual heart is essential for life. It must not be trampled on or misused by another, But uplifted and admired to help her warm heart glow, And happiness will be created in her and in the ones who love her. If she has this kind of spiritual heart, Then she is a genuine beautiful work of art.
Reason for writing:
This inspiration for this is when one of the most beautiful women I have met said that she has a little heart problem. That made my heart sink. This was to uplift her spiritual heart to make up for her delicate physical heart.
