too many hearts

Hearts.
I collect them.
Jewelry.. boxes..nic-nacs.

trying to replace the one that gave me away
trying to replace the one that God took away

The first heart gave me life
The second one helped me through it.

I never really knew the first heart
but she is there just the same
She is there in the faces of my children

The second heart knew me, called me her own
She did not stay with us long enough
She never got to know her grandchildren

they are both in my heart
one gave me life
the other taught me love

Maybe the hearts I collect help me fill the
emptiness of my own.
