RE: What is This Poem?
Hi Virginia,
I have found the poem you are looking for: The Secret Heart
by Robert Tristin Coffin
Across the years he could recall His father one way best of all.
In the stillest hour of night The boy awakened to a light.
Half in dreams, he saw his sire With his great hands full of fire.
The man had struck a match to see If his son slept peacefully.
He held his palms each side the spark His love had kindled in the dark.
His two hands were curved apart In the semblance of a heart.
He wore, it seemed to his small son, A bare heart on his hidden one,
A heart that gave out such a glow No son awake could bear to know.
It showed a look upon a face Too tender for the day to trace.
One instant, it lit all about, And then the secret heart went out.
But it shone long enough for one To know that hands held up the sun.
I hope this is the same one.
