Our feeling heart and thinking brain
should work together for our gain,
but one may try to separate
or try to dominate its mate,
and this can cause us grief and pain.
When our emotions flood like rain,
the voice of reason keeps us sane,
for reason can resuscitate
our feeling heart.
When grudgeful thinking is a bane,
our heart can make us more humane,
for it can help us to relate
to others and dissolve our hate.
Let’s reunite our thinking brain
and feeling heart.
