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.
