A HEARTBEAT



                                                                  Listen to my heartbeat, thump, thump, It beats,



                                                                        Blood runs through it, listen to me as I breathe.



                                                                           A heartbeat means life, It beats fast or slow, 



Thump, thump, it goes, a heartbeat that slowly 
Grows old.


                                                                               It speaks of who I am, only one of a kind,



Listen, thump, thump, with a hand to my chest feel as
I am alive.


A heartbeat lets us know that this moment is still 
Ours,


                                                                            Hear it pound, listen to its beautiful sound.


                                                                      Thump, thump, thump, thump, one beat at a time,



A heartbeat so precious, thump as it beats one 
More time.
