Thump thump
Thump thump
Steady as the beating drum
Thump thump
Thump thump
Generous as the rising sun
Thump thump
Thump thump
A final gift unknowingly given
Thump thump
Thump thump
Heard again in a different chest
Thump thump
Thump thump
Your heart beats on now you’re at rest
Thump thump
Thump thump

Writing has been a hobby of mine for years, so I'm just thrilled to be here! As for me, I love writing, dogs, and travel (only 1 continent left! Australia-.-)
