Heart ❤



Forge thy heart into a spear,
And watch how fast you can tear.
Forge thy heart into a bear
And see how much pains you can cause a  deer.

Forge thy heart into hooks
And see trapped fishes from the rear.
How dare you cause despair
With thy heart , is it fair?

Forge thy spear into a heart
And see as it grows what you build.
For inside your very heart,
 there lies Your other building tools.
