Remember
After you’re born
remember
to polish that trusty gold heart of yours,
keep it shiny enough
to see your own reflection
in love, but not hate
After you’ve grown
remember
to polish that warm copper heart of yours,
make sure the patina
of the cold hard world
doesn’t tarnish your luster
After you’re older
remember
to polish that bright diamond heart of yours
keen enough to cut through any glass
half empty or half full
of wisdom
Sweet!
