This old heart of mine ❤️

Beating a regular rhythm of an every second pulsing knock, knock

And it cannot miss a single tick tocking unless my heart will stop and lock

Then like every other human being that is living I will suffer a cardiac attack aftershock..

So as I listen to that pumping organ inside the cavity of my chest

I am aware of a slowing down when I lie down to take a little rest

But that old beat belts up again if I am on a challenging quest

Almost banging on like a double bass drummer in a competing world record test..

Bang, bang, bang goes the beating of my old aging heart

And this important vital central core is actually uniquely sophisticatedly smart

Totally capable of each and every raw emotion yet it can easily and so foolishly  fall apart
