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 too its beautiful sound.


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


 A 
 Heartbeat so precious, thump as it beats one more time.
