What therefore is the purpose of the heart you ask
To beat, to breath, to exist is not its only task.
It holds within it small and living cells
A place where what we are, ultimatelly dwells
It swells with pride and happiness and cheer
It shudders with doubt and shame and sometimes fear
Hidden behind skin, flesh and bone
A heart is something we all say we own
What therefore is the purpose of the heart you ask
To beat, to breath, to exist is not its only task
Even though it sustains human life
It does not always stop the owner from causing strife
When speaking of the heart, these words and more
Soft, gentle, happy are words that we always hope for
Heart is to stop the brain from becoming to ridged
Heart is to stop the hopeless from becoming to frigid
What therefore is the purpose of the heart you ask
To beat, to breath, to exist is not its only task
To bloom like a flower and awake from its cover
As it lay exposed in the hands of a lover
To take in its place, one given in return
A heart to receive, treasure and then to learn
The purpose of my heart, was for us to meet
To exchange with you so each heart may be complete.
