THE HEARTBEAT OF MY POEMS, OF MY SONGS,
DOES THAT HEARTBEAT BEAT LOUD, BEAT STRONG?
WILL THAT HEARTBEAT LAST FOREVER,
EVEN IF THE RHYTHM NEVER GETS BETTER.
WILL PEOPLE EACH ONE FEEL,
AND KNOW THAT HEARTBEAT IS REAL.
WILL IT COME ACROSS,
OR WILL THAT HEARTBEAT BE LOST.
WILL THAT HEARTBEAT BUILD A BRIDGE,
SO, THAT IT WILL GO FROM EDGE TO EDGE.
WILL IT BRING A LUMP,
MAKE A TEAR FROM YOUR EYE JUMP.
WILL THE RHYTHM MAKE YOU WANT TO SING,
OR TO YOUR FACE, A SMILE BRING.
YES, WILL THAT HEARTBEAT, KEEP TIME,
WITH THE MUSIC THAT PLAYS IN YOUR MIND.
