Heart

Heart is vital, like one's breath. Without their heart, people perished. In sickness and in health, it should be prized and cherished. Brace your heart, for heart is life. Without his heart, one is lost. In peace and in strife, a loving heart don't count the cost. Watch your heart still, for, its beat is your existence. A wounded heart is hard to heal when someone broke its persistence. Always keep your heart serene, guard it against perfidy, for, sharp words could slit your vein like blades hidden in rhapsody. Watch your heart against bad seeds, don't let it go astray, for, in dark corners, evil breeds; let light always guide your way.
