Cardiovascular delight
Week of the Heart – did I hear right?
Joy! When our ticker’s beat is strong
Life is good and we’re on song.
But hearts subjected to great stress
Unable to indulge in rest
May skip a beat, or maybe three
And behave erratically…
So,when we’re under undue pressure
We must pace ourselves, take leisure,
As if we do not act with care,
Hearts remind us, so beware!
Many, caught up with their lives,
Grind on, so it’s no surprise
That their heart gives up the ghost
Result: we lose
those we love most…
In the Good Book, way back then,
We’re given three score years and ten
So those of us who’ve lived beyond
Should marvel at our sacred bond!
