When one heart is not big enough

This heart of mine
feels too small
to hold all this pride and joy
I have for young humans
who have taught me
patience
forgiveness
kindness
humility
that scars only mean those cuts healed
that cracks only let the light in
that everyone makes misnakes
that it's ok to take a deep breath
this little heart is slowly growing
as my love for these teachers of mine grows
