Please good heart,
Have eyes
And look intently and rightly.
Please kind heart,
Have ears
Ears which will listen well and leave no detail.
Please breakable heart,
Have a clear nose
And smell every corner of the air around every being.
Great little heart,
Have a mouth,
And ask wise questions which will make the interviewees give themselves away.
Mortal heart,
Please have a brain,
A brain to reason well, leaving no stone unturned in leaving out emotions
Be objective and discard unnecessary emotions.
And most importantly,
Golden heart,
Have swift legs
Legs to run through all storms
To seek cover and to protect yourself from every catastrophe.
Above all, original heart,
Have warm hands,
Hands to embrace the hurt and dejected
And cause a change in this sad, sad world.
