Heart

Hearing my name
called by my own people's voices
proves my place in the world, more
it shows I matter to others.

Hearts' bonds are strong,
and in the end, all we have.
Our presence perpetuated 
down the years.

New lives created in love, only 
extends the goodness.
Be thankful to those who join themselves to you,
Remember and gather in others with no ties of their own.
Remember goodness feeds growth, the only proof
against growing darkness and cold...
