How much can we cram
Into our heart?
How many people, animals
And God knows what else?
Will we know when we cannot
Love one more person
Or animal or thing
Because the heart space is full?
If someone we love dies,
Does that free up space?
Or do the dead keep that
Space occupied forever?
Can we do a spring cleaning
Make a conscious effort
And throw out the ones we
Do not want anymore?
Maybe the heart is like the mind
Ever expanding with no limits
And we don’t have to worry
About enough heart space
