My Heart Speaks To Your Ears

Stethoscope in ears.
Why listen so intently?
Be sure heart doesn't murmur.
Beats must be even.
Life depends on steady flow.
Do not need to blow a valve.



Note: This is for my best friend Jimmy who has a heart murmur.

The rhytm of your verse has an inner touch Anyone listen it ,surely will want much... These beats speak softly to an other heart. I think this is really the blessed true art...

funny, I am a nurse and some times it is hard to hear the sounds and that is why we listen so intently.
