Two Hearts In Harmony Poem by Jim Yerman

When you were born you were so tiny.
I was already taken with your charms.
We both began to cry until they put you in my arms.

I think I know what made us stop.
It was easy for me to see.
We both could hear the music of two hearts in harmony.

When you were born you couldn't talk…but to my surprise
You seemed to say so much to me…when I looked into your eyes.

When you were born you couldn't walk.
You didn't have a clue…
but that didn't matter because anywhere we went…I would carry you.

When you grew up…began walking on your own
I was there to guide you
and as you became more independent…I was proud to walk beside you

When you grew up…you didn't stop talking
but, to my surprise
I still found so much meaning…when I looked into your eyes.

Even now, when you're upset
If I hold you close to me
We both calm down when we feel…two hearts in harmony.

And after all these years and all life's changes
I'm still just as taken with your charms…
as I was the day when you were born
the day they put you in my arms.

As I was the day you began to crawl…
the day you began to walk…
The day you smiled at me with your eyes…
the day you began to talk…

And even though we're not as together
as we once used to be
In quiet moments I still feel it…
don't you?
two hearts in harmony.
