Giving

The beating of the heart,
                                                    is where love gets its start;
                                                    it courses the blood, 
                                                    to the brain it will flood;
                                                    to the arms it flows,
                                                    then to the legs it goes;
                                                    bringing love every place,
                                                    from foot to your face;
                                                    love becomes you,
                                                    all you say and do;
                                                    your total existence,
                                                    you have no resistance;
                                                    it cannot be stopped,
                                                    nor can it be dropped;
                                                    it can only be spread,
                                                    and lasts till your dead;
                                                    so, if you really care,
                                                    it's something you share;
                                                    to those that you know, 
                                                    will help your love grow;
                                                    so pass it around, 
                                                    before put in the ground.
