The Girl Who Spent Heartbeats

The Girl who spent heartbeats Her currency was heartbeats She only shopped with time. She paid for things with seconds As she waited in a line. You cannot put heartbeats in a money box. To save for a rainy day. You either use them or you lose them Heartbeat’s are made that way She would spend heartbeats on strangers As they shared their troubles and woes Because kind hearts are worth more than riches And go much further than money goes. She would spend a heap of heartbeats on moments Visiting old and precious friends. Who wondered how she was so happy With so little money to spend. But money only buys possessions While heartbeats buy much more. They buy you friends and love and laughter And a warm smile at every door. It a fact you can’t buy heartbeats When you have used them they are gone So spend your heartbeats wisely For one day you will have none
