'The Heart' Poem by David Bennett

The heart is such a special thing
It does so many things,
It feeds our vital organs with the fluid that they so need,
It tells us when to pace ourselves
It tells us when to run,
It tells us when were happy
It tells us when were sad
It even tells us when were ever so bad,
It reminds us of those we miss
And those that are still here
It tells us that it rules our heads
It tells us when we fear
The heart is very special for nearly
all our needs,
It tells us when we love someone that
often ends in tears,
It tells us when we love someone,
It tells us when to cry,
It tells us when to die,
It tells us when to kiss someone
It tells us when to hold
It tells us when to be ever so very bold
Its important that you look after yours,
And of those you really care
The heart is such an important thing
Its the lifeline of our years.
