What the Heart Can Hold



Today Toni over at Imaginary Gardens is asking us to write a poem from a quote.
Come join us!


My closet is becoming smaller
Condensing like a garbage compactor
With so many more things stuffed in every year
But my heart finds more and more places to fill
 no matter how large the size or high the price
It grows like a child in winter
And no matter the cost
it always longs for more.

    I love this! The closet, the garbage compactor .. how clever to use when describing the filling of one’s heart. Always room.

    A small heart can still find room for more love and concerns. Nice bedtime thought to read. Thank you.

    A magnificent organ...the heart- and you did justice to that quote :)

    You think it's full and then miraculously find there is room for more. It definitely grows!
