My heart is evident; look around.
Its shadow is long; I’m sure you’ve found.
Evidenced in gifts; proven in art.
So many thoughtfuls straight from my heart.
Everywhere’s proof I spent time thinking.
Ice cream, breakfast…the cup you’re drinking.
You’ve taken; not given…hurt; not healed.
You only love who keeps their lips sealed.
You think that you’ve beat me down & back…
But, I’ve survived far worse than petty flack.
