Careful!
It is fragile
touch it gently
if you must
It is pieces
put back together
that break apart
again when
handled carelessly
It still puts out a
a powerful surge
but the intake
often fails
from faulty sensors
It has a low
melting point
and the consistency
of warm putty
When held
in coldness
the mended seams
become brittle
as dry leaves
My heart is tender
handle with care
it is full of love
Don't spill it

That says all there is to say, I believe.

Love your comment Jerry-makes it sound like I got in the last word and you know how we women love that!
Too bad you can't buy cases to protect your heart like you can your cell phone LOL
