Tandem Hearts Poem by Dale Mullock

There is a heart that is both yours and mine,
Its beat is always in sync and in time,
It silently knows what is best,
As it thumps loudly in your chest,
It never grows or quietens with age,
Yet it always rattles your ribcage,
It beats once, then twice, then thrice,
Entrapped within your bodily vice,
But in vigour, spirit and glee,
It is always in time with me.
So our hearts are in tandem,
The beats never sporadic or random,
For you have a special magic touch,
So this is a thank you very much,
From all the hearts you have clutched,
Their hearts forever etched and touched,
By the love and friendship you do imbue,
So this is for the one and only… you!
