Funny Old Heart Poem by Jim O'Donnell

The heart is such a funny thing
So many things can pull its strings
Young at heart we fall in love
And gets broken when they have had enough

The pain when someone’s past away
That really broke my heart that day
To think that someone close has gone
But your heart it keeps beating on

The joy it feels when your babes born
And the life it brings keeps you warm
Your heart its heart beat as one
You love and protect that ray of sun

The sadness you feel when disaster strikes
No matter were in the world those plights
In a heart beat you feel the pain
If there a god this is just insane

Your heart is pounding in your chest
When it’s full of Christmas festiveness
Waiting for that Christmas morn
Wide eyed Children eyes all glazed
Standing there just amazed

That final day will come to you
When your heart stops beating too
Have no fear you will go to rest
And join the spirits of happiness
