Passages of Heartbeats of Time

when we are born we are like

heartbeatsin time scattered to a strong wind

never knowing where the heartbeats will end

taking chances as they go on their way

looking for a little kindness to come their way

looking for a soft spoken word or the touch of a loving hand

as we wander through like and all the pain and the sorrow

that we go through each day in our separate ways

sometimes crossing heartbeats of some soul like me

and seeing our heartbeats reflected in another in pain

sharing our sorrow, our comfort, our pain and

pausing to make a memory of heartbeats as we go on our way

we are all alike in our separate way

neaver knowing when a heartbeat in time

will take us away

hoping that our short heartbeats on earth

as left a place in someone elses heart

maybe making a change in the way things have been

for some other heartbeat so that their soul maybe can mend
