Happy Valentine’s Day: Tribute to the
Heart
By Melanie Jay Narayanasamy
The heart is a special organ made of
gold
With a jewel encrusted exterior and
gems installed
It shines in humble glory and happily
skips
While offering a truer kiss than from
the lips
It is the strongest muscle within our
skeletal frame
Always in the running for Cupid’s aim
And even when his arrow misses
It can mend itself from the glitches
A loving beater who makes you whole
It’s a survivor for when life takes
its toll
And when you’re lifted, it is in sync
A partner to your emotions, an
endless link
Often it ventures out with a mind of
its own
But love and goodwill keep it from
turning to stone
When infused, it can paint a picture
and bring colour to the palest beige
Staying faithful to your soul, it
will be forever engaged
So don’t be surprised when they enthuse
That you take care of it and don’t
misuse
For to own something so special, I am
inclined
To celebrate my heart on this
Valentine’s!
