Straight from the Heart

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!
