A happy heart starts with a smile
given freely it can travel for miles on end
across this globe spinning endlessly
depending upon gratitude from a receiver
who then sends another smile to another befriend.
A happy heart imparts profundity
tactfully when asked or necessarily tasked
to lovingly correct or protect one from 'taking a false step'
causing a receiver to introspect about decisions
important, to stop and reflect upon daily.
A happy heart never departs in adversity
loyally sticking to 'justice' and/or 'truth' exhibited profoundly
'shoulder-to-shoulder' found internationally
whether stooped or straight one's usual gait
emotionally elevating others to a helium-like state communally.
“Not making partial distinctions.”
“‘You must not be unjust in your judgment. You must not show partiality to the poor or show preference to the rich. With justice you should judge your fellow man." Lev. 19:15.
“Not hypocritical.”
Laid out on a road, beaten, to die
a Levite and priest just walked on by.
A Samaritan good, with heart, did try
to save this man
with money and a doctor in an inn to lie
comfortably until well. His generosity to fly
into hearts inspired to apply:
"‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’" Matt. 22:39.
For, "Love does not work evil to one’s neighbor". Rom. 13:10.
A happy heart is kind inclined everlastingly.
