Matters of the H E A R T

My friend Sara from Saramuse made this bag for me
 many years ago.
I still love this bag. . .
I see it everyday.
It is her own design.
It tells a lot about her.
It says that she is generous
and full of life.



Sometimes there are things that break your heart
Sometimes there are things that touch your heart
Sometimes all you can do is make hearts
If you are lucky. . .
you find friends
that say that they care

And
you
are
grateful.

I always keep these hearts about
where I can see them
there are 5 of them
but, today I see only 4.
My son-in-law
is leaving for Afghanistan
to be an interpreter. . .
This hangs heavy on my heart.
This is another big story
that I will tell. . .
someday.

I am making these hearts
to mend
my heart
by taxing my brain
to pay attention
to count the stitches
so there is no room
to feel full of worry.

To feel full of love.
