A Purple Heart

Once in a while I rest my hand over my chest over my heart ~ BAA DoooM BAA DoooM BAA DoooM to feel its song to feel its beats to contemplate how it never failed me for all these years after eating greasy chicken burgers and fries never eating enough vegetables or drinking enough water but it still beats~BAA DoooM BAA DoooM BAA DoooM it still sings though I feed it more bad than good,it still rejoices THAT IS LOVE ,a love we seldom feed our hearts, a love we seldom feed each other. Come on lets count our heat beats a little more~BAA DoooM BAA DoooM BAA DoooM

when your heart tells you that it time to quit it's too late. when diabedies appeares it will change your diet for you. or you will die or suffer untill you die. start now!!! before it's too late and you have to give up the things you love. i can't even look at a bag of skins.

I can so relate to this one. In my youth I really abused it with those lovely greasy foods. But I have tried really hard to better my diet in the past 20 years and all of a sudden I am showing slightly high blood pressure this last week at the doctor's. Go figure!! well, I sure enjoyed this poem, it's very nice!!
