Analysis of The Heart beat
Within my left breast,
Lies my beating heart,
Wonderful sound to my ears,
Encasing bright, eternal hopes.
My beating heart
That beats so that I may sleep and have good dreams,
My beating heart
That beats so that I may experience untainted love and be comforted around the clock.
Miracles occur from such love;
Our precious lil babe
Borne from two hearts but with its own,
This filial tie that is ever so binding,
Will continue to ensure
A love that remains magical
As our hearts will forever be one.
