A Change of Heart When the mind has left the heart behind It poses a problem for humankind The mind wonders how it could be wrong Somehow the heart understood all along After a little embarrassment The mind realizing what the heart meant Surprisingly finds out it must feel Right by heart about what might not be real When it feels unreal is when we find Reality through our humanity The mind might forget the ties that bind But the heart can feel who we really are The heart comes through to be proven true Though the mind finds it inconvenient To know then before we go too far When we never meant to go where we went We can be more real than we have been Feel our way back to being real again The mind admits to what is amiss But the heart knows we are better than this The heart reminds humankind to be Humans who are kind in reality Never mind all of the lies that blind The heedless despising us needlessly The pain is real but the love is too When the heart explains what the mind must do Realizing unreality A change of heart precedes a change of mind Steven Curtis Lance

I do believe that when we do not allow ourselves to feel the wonderous emotions of love and compassion, the mind finds other
vehicles to fill the emptiness, and they are not always salutary to the soul. I have thoroughly enjoyed this poem. Have a great day dear Steven.

Somehow we give that incredibly strong muscle that pumps every minute of our lives much more credit than it is probably due. What you are really referring to is is our inner compass, our conscience that we call, "heart." For it is really the heart of the matter.
