This old heart of mine
is a veritable mine
of experiences:
joy, sorrow and raw passion
compassion on some occasion
This old heart of mine
has served me true and faithful
humouring my every mood
with percussion sublime and varied:
slow and dignified beats for prayer and devotion
fast and furious when I must flee some terror
joyful and expectant when she passed by
chaotic and bewildered when I'm discarded
This old heart of mine
has seen me through times hard and easy
I begin to take her for granted
Though there's a price to pay
For, certainly, one of these days she'll beat no more
