Little Heart, Big Heart

If a heart quite literally grew a tiny child, a tiny heart 
If a heart cradled a tiny babe, right there 
Like an atrium to the lightest glimmer of hope 
Would it be the joke of a rabble?
Would it be the mark of a freak? 
Or horror reels for sale? 
Would it be frightening?
Would it be a miracle? 
Would it be a stand up riot? 
Would it be words like parasitic 
or rare condition? 
No. 
It would just be different 
It would just be a beautiful little change of plans 
It would be something to re-manage or reimagine 
A rose that bloomed from a garden 
Not a cave with all its veins like roots and 
Rivers deep.
She would be a survivor 
She would be something to write home about 
Something to shout from the rooftops 
Like a sister or a child or guardian who clung onto 
The very centre of a soul 
For dear life 
And came up for air 
In a different direction 
With the same 
Yet different 
Heart as 
Anyone 
Does.
