The Last Gift
A sad poem about a beautiful thing
Thump thump
Thump thump
Steady as the beating drum
Thump thump
Thump thump
Generous as the rising sun
Thump thump
Thump thump
A final gift unknowingly given
Thump thump
Thump thump
Heard again in a different chest
Thump thump
Thump thump
Your heart beats on now you’re at rest
Thump thump
Thump thump
