[title] => SHE COULD ONLY FEEL WITH HER HEART

[hometext] => If you were blind, and could not see, and deaf, and could not hear, how could you feel?
[bodytext] => Born blind, and could not hear nor speak Cold dark dungeon, with cement walls, silenced, no light, much fright, anxieites, could neither talk, understand or peek! To touch, but not know, to scream, but not hear! No communications, nor endearment, only dreary austerity! Despot life, controlled, unbearable, each living moment with no future, nor fore-warning, only hopeless severity! Eating what? Tasting what? Sitting where? Next to whom? And why there? Living Tomb, unaware? No encouragement weakens, but never having, how can a blind one know the missing link? Influenced by all we see, touch, taste, smell without, it's impossible to think! Without logic, or reasoning, no books nor images. Even natural inclinations, are mysterious guesses. When I feel this urge, why must I sit, where you place me? Not even understanding, clean, dirty, or even comfy! Our hearts are buried deep in our chests, under our ribs for protection. When all other senses are taken from us, it's our heart that replaces the missing action. Seat of motivation, impressions, sensibilities, packed with emotion, inspiration, and affection. An unkind word can hurt, but you never forget how it felt. A beating may leave a welt, but it's not forgotten, because it's heartfelt! Do you appreciate the things that only we can feel with our hearts? A warm loving hug, a door opened for us to depart? A geniune smile, feelings behind it, knowing they care.... Some one you know that goes out of their way to share? A special dish prepared just the way you desire, or cookies baked just to say.....love to aspire! A kind gesture without asking, "Please?" A thoughtful person that reached out to help you with ease. A neighbor knows the "flu" bug visited your house. A carefully prepared covered dish, for you and your spouse. You feel that with your heart, and will never forget! A long distance phone call, to say, "I love you," and was thinking about you, and just wanted you to know. No special occasion, no birthday, no anniversary, no regret. Simple loving thoughtfulness, sets your heart aglow! The lady I feel so honored to write about today is known to us all, as Helen Keller, blindness, deafness, was her prey. And, yet, she never stopped feeling, as she would say, "The best and most beautiful things in the world, cannot be seen, nor touched but are felt in the heart!" Do you feel with your heart, each and everyday? When you hug your little ones close to your heart, can you feel theirs beating? When you kiss your loved one goodbye, do you do it with feelings in your heart, lingering? How long has it been since you did some small thing for someone you barely know at all? Did you do it with feeling coming from your heart, or just didn't have time, so didn't do it at all? Helen Keller was so right, speaking through her hands, she never could have said anything more lasting for us with eyes that see, and ears that hear.....she knew what was the most important for her, and we. Having feelings in your heart, and transferring them to others graciously! Created by Cheri Cam LeBren January 8, 2004 "Do you let feelings in your heart embrace others?"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
