Matters of the Heart

I am brushing up on my knowledge of the heart

And as I delve deeper into some concepts, I start

Going back in time to my medical student days

When I was trying to grasp the heart’s mysterious ways

Vaguely hoping that life would somehow include

Matters of the heart…now, with immense gratitude

I can say that much of my life revolves

Around the heart, as a physician I continue to evolve

Working to treat sick hearts with tools ingeniously designed..

I am fortunate that the heart lodged itself in my mind..

I read about murmurs of the heart and recall

Being intrigued by those heart sounds had started it all

I reflect upon my journey, and it has been

An exciting one, a few hurdles I have seen

A large part of my heart the heart does occupy

We are close companions, the heart and I
