HEART AND MIND

 Dare you be different and express your thoughts
Be prepared and protect yourself from those who do not.

The heart to the body plays a critical role
But devoid of feeling and thoughts and no connection with your soul.

The mind is conditioned first to imitate in order to learn
Then to experience by touch that heat can pain and also burn.

The mind learns early about the power of sound
How to get attention, desires and have others to surround.

Finally the voice to ask and seek but not always encouraged
Authority needs to speak and too many questions are discouraged.

The hearts function to move nutrients and oxygen to body and mind
Of course it still has value on the special day of Valentine.

A heart cannot think, compare or recall
Other than a pump it does very little at all.

The human mind is capable of many things including the gift of thought
To make decisions and choices of value ad also those of naught.

Only with the mind can a person know of right and wrong
To know where we came from and to whom we will always belong.
