A Heart Beats On Poem by Phil Soar

My heart beats on, as life goes by, at such a frantic speed
Reminding me that every day, is a welcome one indeed
It’s a special vital organ, we suggest has feelings too
Without its seismic rhythm, what would we all do?

We hardly know it’s there sometimes, and yet it pumps away
Giving us the strength to live, and cherish every day
It’s a well- developed counterweight, and keeps our life intact
We couldn’t live without it, and that’s a certain fact

So take care of this vital cog, and treat it with respect
For if it stops through ignorance, your life will then be wrecked
No matter how we live our lives, it makes the best of sense
To treat our hearts with sympathy, and not sit on the fence
