YOUR HEART

 

Whenever I have a decision to make I listen for some cueing

from all the voices in my head…

happy to advise me on what I should be doing.


Oftentimes at the moment when inspiration I am seeking

“It is much too dangerous!” Is the voice I hear first

(Experience is speaking).


My heart is next…always waiting in the wings behind me…

“But there is a little danger in all adventures”

He hastens to remind me.


Pride is usually the next to speak…hoping a level head will prevail.

He is always quick to ask…“What happens if you fail.”


Again my heart is prepared to answer… 

Ready with words of guidance when I’m in need…

“Yes.” He whispers in my ear.

“But what happens if you succeed.”


Reason then throws in his two cents…

“Why not play it safe.” He cries…

To which my heart responds…

“You’ll never know…until you try.”


After listening to all the voices…

a diverse and vehement array…

and analyzing very carefully 

Every word they say…


I thank them for their counsel…

for in my decision they playing an important part

Then I smile and usually decide 

to follow the voice inside my heart.


I may not always make the wisest decision…

but in the life I’m trying to create…

I am often very happy

when my heart wins the debate.
