The Heart

It keeps us alive

The power house of life

It never stops working

Pumping life into your mind

It never gives up

Pumping life into your body

If left alone to die

It’ll take all your dreams with it

It pumps these thoughts into your mind

That you never want to forget

It wonders where you’ve gone

But it never gives up

It’s your biggest strength

Yet it’s your biggest weakness

Can end your life in a beat

Or keep you alive forever
