A Poem

Take my heart

Yes, please take it

It is not soft

Nor malleable

But it beats

And it beats well

It beats like rumbling

And rumbles like roaring

Take my heart

Yes, please take it

It is strong

And it will endure

Its rhythm stays constant

and its passion, too

and it can wait

It will wait, for soon

it will no longer be theirs

Take my heart

Yes, please take it

It is all I own

It is all I've known

It is the means of me

it is the means to see

Take my heart, please.

Take it.
