THE HEART 

OF THE  MATTER 

The air conditioner is letting me know

it’s working. It’s pushing, pushing.

It’s keeping me cool on this muggy

hot, humid day. It’s not quiet.

The car motor is letting me know

it’s running. It’s turning, turning.

It’s keeping me moving on this trip

back home. It’s not quiet.

However, my heart is not letting me know

it’s working. Yet it’s pumping - pumping.

It’s keeping me going this day so far.

Thanks God. But both of you are quiet….
