Analysis of Pleasure of the Heart
Tommy L. Maddox 1972 (North Carolina)
Pleasures of the heart,
come few in our time.
With the increase in violence,
and cruelty.
There is no time,
for one's love to shine.
Take a hold of hope,
and in time you will see.
That love and kindness,
are still the sweetest thing.
