Dear Heart

Dear Heart.

Sometimes you get attacked and keep on ticking.
At times, you take abuse and keep on kicking.
Sometimes we eat wrongly and never seem to learn.
This often causes you to get sick with heartburn.
Sometimes diseases develop and cause you to stall.
Without you, mortals would have no life at all.

Some time ago, I learned that for most of us, between
60 and 100 beats per minute were normal. Nearly 8 years ago,
my heartbeats were irregular and my heart rate was under 40bpm.
A pacemaker was installed inside my chest to assist you in
keeping me alive.

Since that procedure, you have enabled me to thrive.
I am learning to relax and decrease stress. I am learning
to take naps and get more rest. I am sure that you work harder
than a worker bee. Today, I just wanted to take the time to say
Thank you, Heart, for working so hard for me.
