Margins of the Heart
When numbers align, but life still teaches
Today is International Logic Day...a day we remember that logic governs all we do.
But what should reign at the centre of life's practicalities?
Sometimes the solution isn’t in the equations—it’s in the heart.

Matt's gift, his blessing was the proof
Numbers that behaved -
Margins, symbols,trusted tools -
His exactness, never caved.
🧮❤️🧮❤️🧮❤️🧮❤️
A student's question, a loss of ground
He feels a sense of fear -
A firm equation, but sense not sound
And Hope, she would not steer.
🧮❤️🧮❤️🧮❤️🧮❤️
He ploughed through symbols, numbers, notes
But equations would not hold -
Then the answers a student wrote
Held the hidden truth, now told -
🧮❤️🧮❤️🧮❤️🧮❤️
Matt tweaked the signs, the formulae
The numbers that spoke too soon-
With tinges of soul that would stay
And keep them attuned.
