My Heart Of Glass

Of glass my heart is made.
With care do handle it.
For easily 'twould be to break,
And shatter through and through.
Then empty I would be.
With nothing to replace,
My heart that once inside me beat,
That warmed my blood ,
And kept me whole.
You'll shatter it,
And never more
My heart would beat.
And never more
My heart would be.

floria:

I sense a tender loving heart in you
A rare precious jewel of morning dew
Such treasure is too valuable for glass
For you're the finest crystal that God has.

Hearts are fragile, easily hurt by deception!!It is ironic, that which is capable of such feats of strength, generate such warmth and console, and gift such security, could so easily be slain!!! An amazing post Floria!!!

(tears fall down my cheeks) Oh Floria, this is sooooooo very sad, my heart cries out to you and your tears! (big huggsssssss) I pray this is not a feeling you have right now, but if it is, all our hearts are with you and knows deep down your heart can never be broken and will shine again with porcelain joy! (kiss on cheek) We all love you so much, sweet friend, God Bless You! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Floria, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

*sigh* My heart is so filled with cracks that I think it would just shatter if I was hurt again. Magnificent writing. You know how to express the tenderness of your heart so very well. **big hugs**

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

You know what's really wonderful about shattered hearts - they always, magically, mend again, love again, vibrantly beat again.  Such a blessing!

This poem is so beautifully creative and sad.....but, I can't believe that you have a heart of glass, Floria.  You strike me as a very warm person, and glass is so cold.
I loved the poem anyway!

Beautiful, Floria! It is so very true, that we forget how very fragile we all really are! Hugs, Ellie
