Paco is a Vermont dairy farm manager and ELL student at VAL. He was born in Mexico and writes poetry in English and Spanish. VAL is fortunate that Paco is willing to occasionally share his poetry. This work is an expression of gratitude for the help Paco received following a cardiac event. We are grateful he is on the mend.
My Heart is Yours
My heart feels flooded with love
I cannot find the right words
To express everything I feel
Because now I know I’m not alone
Without even knowing me
You supported me and gave me your hand
The one I held that helped me to carry on
You are a great human being to me
You, who during this tribulation in my life
You gave me words of encouragement
You shared your time with me
You showed me new ways to give and receive love
Yes, you who protected me without concern for your own safety
Because you knew that I needed you
Today, with tears in my eyes
I can honestly testify
My heart is stronger
My heart is yours!
