Enduring Hearts

The left handed boy with a stick in his hand drew a row of hearts
across the sand. Tides crept in and washed them away but he
drew them again the very next day..
A girl pinned a heart on the arm of her sleeve. It rhythmically pulsed and
began to breathe, open to all to give and receive..
Children colored hearts and kept in the lines. They gave theirs away
as Valentines..
A teen carved a heart in the base of a tree, professing his love
til eternity..
Two lovers soaked in a heart shaped tub, their bodies intertwined
in an intimate hug..
A life is now gone and laid to rest while their heart beats on
in another person's chest..

Heart is the seat of love and all other emotions and the most vital organ of the human body. That's why heart is celebrated by all !"A life is now gone and laid to rest while their heart beats on in another person's chest.." What a thrilling feat of medical technology ! Enjoyed the poem dear Nancy...
