Poem

There was something the matter with Piet
Everyone knew it
Yet no one knew what
Of course it took a genius to find out.
When Doctor pressed a stethoscope to Piet’s small chest
The room was filled with utter silence 
Piet was a smart little boy
And remembered from biology class the importance of the heart
“Why, it’s the most important muscle in the body
Without it I am as good as dead!”
And Doctor agreed
So Piet went out on a mission to find a heart
(For he was much to young to die)
He saw an old man waiting for destiny to take its stand
But the old man treasured his heart above all else
And although Piet attempted to take it
He was unsuccessful in his endeavor
So Piet continued in his odyssey 
He saw a weak baby struggling for life
“I’m sure he wouldn’t mind if I took his heart”
But the baby claimed his heart was anchoring him to life
It took one look at his mother’s gaze him to convince him to never give up
Piet was now impressed 
“Having a heart seems to be more important than I thought”
He sat on a bench and realized sadly 
If he didn’t have a heart
That must make him dead
A warm liquid began to glaze his eye
(Yes, a tear)
As that drop pooled, lining his lid
Time started to slow down
The drop began to trail down his cheek
His hand immediately touched this foreign liquid
And then time stopped all together
And in the silence of things
There was a thump.
It was soft but it was there.
Another thump.
Piet pressed his hand to his chest
It was there!
A living creature.
In the search for a heart 
Piet didn’t realize it was there the whole time
It only needed some awakening.
