The Rhythm of Her Life

The Rhythm of her life

Without the beat
Her heart won’t flutter
Without the steps
Her life will stutter

A rhythm within
Drives her soul
A rhythm outwith
Makes her whole

The tune silent
To those around
The tune vibrant
Her inner sound

The music of life
A spring in her walk
The music of love
Flows when she talks

Sparkling smile
Happy she’s alive
Sparkling eyes
With beat she thrives
