A Hundred Thousand Heartbeats Poem by Michael WheelerWyatt

I found the ladder – the one that goes up into your heart
The ride is so smooth - like an eagle soaring through the heights
A hundred heartbeats passed me by today
Because of you
A hundred thousand heartbeats every single day
Just for you

You open your senses to let me in as I fall into your warm embrace
The ride is so exciting - but always breathtaking
A hundred thousand heartbeats I give you
Because of you
A hundred thousand kisses every single day
Just for you

I look behind me - a slow glance over my shoulder
Tears of pride as you seem to float towards me
2 billion heartbeats - I happily give to you
Because of you
2 billion heartbeats - all my life I give to you
My life all for you
