Sweetest Sound

The sweetest sound is the sound of a heart beat.1

Ask an expectant mother.2

The sound of her baby's healthy heart,3

is the sweetest sound.4

The sweetest sound is the sound of a heart beat.5

Ask a new lover.6

The sound of that person's racing heart,7

is the sweetest sound.8

The sweetest sound is the sound of a heart beat.9

Ask a comfortable companion.10

Laying a head down on a chest to listen,11

is the sweetest sound.12

The sweetest sound is the sound of a heart beat.13

Ask an old friend14

while they lay in bed waiting,15

is the sweetest sound.16

A heart beat is the sweetest sound.

    Why uck? x.x

    Hahaha right now, I can understand this.. right now.. my own heart is beating so fast (it's been palpitating since thursday but I am not worried *might tell you later*)

    I have heard from friends and family that the first heartbeat of a child in the womb is one of the most unexplainable joys ever... I can imagine, since it is a wonder and possibly a miracle that we can HAVE something alive in us (other than parasites, I mean, harhar )

    While I agree that it is the sweetest sound... after the last heartbeat.. grah..


    A heartbeat is so strong.. friends from nursing classes also told me that listening or keeping track of a dying person's heartbeat is.. just mightily overwhelming. I am glad I took a different college course. x.x

    I think I sound like a raving lunatic.. But yeah, I am feeling your writing..
    Thanks for sharing this with us.

      You'd better tell me later, after you've gone to the doctors, you silly

      Raving lunatic, you? Never.

      Thanks for reading and I think the sweetest sound is the sound of my childrens hearbeat.

      Thanks again

    Its's a lovely poem that is so true. I dont usually read poems at all but the first lines grabbed my attention immediately. Nice work!To continue:
    "Ask the doctor
    Looking at his patient who has one foot in the grave
    A heartbeat is the sweetest sound."

      The doctor line is good. I'll have to see what I can do.
      Thanks for reading, I don't usually write poetry either.
