The heart is a mosaic
Made up of colorful tiles
It is composed of a set
Of many different styles

Each tile was set by someone
Who came and touched your heart
Either for good or for bad,
They added to the work of art.

Some have laid down many,
Helping you in many ways,
Working to make your heart
Worthy of the highest praise!

Some have come and set just one—
Just one magnificent tile
Caring enough to take time
To share with you a smile

And sadly, some have laid down
Tiles that are chipped and ugly
Leaving others to fix your heart
As well as it can be

So today you have a chance
On life to make an impact:
Each tile remains forever-
One for every caring act

Interesting way of looking at impressions left by others on our hearts. Maybe somewhat late for a book submission but I voted and maybe... hopefully...

Thank you for your votes. I already have one poem in the book, so I don't mind if this one doesn't make it in, but I decided to give it a try.
