What the heart can hold!

I wonder at times, how much the heart can hold, there is so much we ask our heart to do. From giving us life, to holding our loved ones, to keeping our memories alive. When it is quiet, I try to hear the beat, and sometimes I think I can hear it, and when I do, I realize it is the center of my being. I picture my heart to be very big, and warming, I am grateful for a warming heart as I think it brings me so much joy.

With a warm heart, life can be a treasure. It allows me to give of myself without asking anything in return. My memories that are all stored in my heart, bring me such comfort at times of need. The feelings that I have for my friends, family, all come from my heart.

The heart can also sustain the hurt, and when it does hurt you can actually feel it. It knows how, when ready to put the hurt deep within, so it is not always in the forefront. And when the hurt surfaces once more, the heart is there to comfort, with every beat.

It is in amazement to me, how one can have a cold heart, but truth be told, there are many who do. Some can turn away in a instant, without looking back, as the feelings of a warm heart just don't exist. I have encountered this in my life, and each time, I just can't comprehend why.

My heart holds so much that is dear to me, it harbors all my thoughts, secrets, loves and pleasures. It is good to have a warm heart, and as long as mine is beating, it will warm me forever.
