Marriage

---

The heart is beating, keeping time, the drummer of our lives,
from the moment we’re first conceived, till the day we close our eyes.

In just one small second, the heart of a hummingbird,
will beat twenty times, yet never will it be heard.

In one brief minute while we recite nursery rhymes,
a newborn’s heart beats a hundred and forty times.

An hour passes by and with twenty-four hundred beats,
the black stallion, tone and sleek, is adored by all he meets.

Over forty thousand pulses in one day of the year
for the massive elephant who slowly trudges near.

Three million, twenty-four thousand human beats of the heart,
the constant drumming in just one month is God’s work of art.

With all these hearts beating, two have found their way
and have begun to beat in unison the new rhythm of today.

For you and me, a new song is being sung,
two individual hearts have started to sound as one.
