Battle for the Heart

A poem by Julia R. DeStefano

Put on your war paint. Armed with truth, go to battle for your heart. It’s the most important battle of your life.

Battle for the Heart

Tell me what stokes the fire

in your soul -

a tale of what you love

and all that you hope for

in the dark, in the light

with Luck and Truth

to your right

in a world too small for us.

Show me who you are

when the lights go out,

and we need only touch

to win.
