Echoes of the Heart
The pounding of my heart
Echoes in my ears
Of the things that made it beat
All throughout the years
The fondness for my friends
Echoes back to me
Some of whom I've known
For half a century
The pattering lover’s beat
Echoes in my soul
A rhythm that sounds so sweet
From the girl who makes me whole
The fatherly, thumping sound
Echoes throughout the house
From the love for our children
In tandem with my spouse
The echoes of your heart
Will put a smile upon your face
As long as it beats
From being in the right place
