Genuine Fenton art glass, blown by Chuck Boux of Sigma Glass, St. Petersburg, FL
The glassblower formed the molten glow
His skill refined and keen
With the care of an artist creating perfection
It was the prettiest heart I’d ever seen
I took my heart and showed it with pride
For all the world to see
But it was too fragile, this heart of glass
And a broken heart’s of no use to me
I searched far and wide for the best potter
To make a heart that was stronger
It wasn’t as pretty, this heart of clay
But I knew it would last longer
I took my heart and showed it with pride
For all the world to see
It too was fragile and it crumbled
And a broken heart’s of no use to me
To the best sculptor money could buy
I found my heart of granite
It was heavy and hard, not very pretty
This strongest heart on the planet
I took my heart and showed it with pride
For all the world to see
It didn’t break, but it was too cold
And all those around left me
The glassblower formed the molten glow
His skill refined and keen
With the care of an artist creating perfection
It was the prettiest heart I’d ever seen
I took my heart, handling it with care
For some of the world to see
This heart of glass, fragile in its beauty
Is best shared with humility
