THE FRAGRANT HEART

THE FRAGRANT HEART 

This is indeed who I am, 

the same person of my writings, 

not someone who writes words 

from the mind, but of the heart. 

My journey is open to those on my path; 

What they read here are words of testimony, 

of how my heart is linked to the One above 

in great love and affection. 

The words I receive, are the words I write. 

They are not a fabrication— 

I speak in truth and in reverence, 

and guided by the Holy Spirit. 

I am not here to impress people, nor seek fame. 

My mission is, and always will be, to pollinate hearts, 

to help the cold hearts to awaken, be refreshed, 

and seek God’s goodness 

My mission is to pull the weeds 

from those who cannot grow spiritually; 

That they may see or feel something I have written, 

that will help them to become someone of substance. 

I come to all on my path with untied, unpolished shoes, 

but take the step to walk with them. 

I am but a flower bursting through the weeds with hope— 

helping others grow upward from spiritual stagnation. 

I know of no one, 

who is not in need. 

I may be just a speck, but perhaps a spark 

to light the flame of a heart somewhere. 

When I write these things, it is not my mind 

they come from, but from One greater than I. 

I give you what I have, little at it is; 

I give it to you from the One above. 

This spiritual gift is free 

and given with love, love of the heart; 

Like falling leaves, it sprinkles the path we walk on— 

taking us all onward in our journey to Our Lord.
