Often times the pain stings <br />Left part of the arm it clings <br />In the middle sternum lingers <br />Valve of aorta seems calcify <br />Infusing blood quite irregular <br />As life flows in intermittent <br /> <br />Many times breath is shallow <br />Or becomes rapidly gasping <br />Risk is enclosing to the end <br />As though death is certain <br />Groping into myriad veins <br />And whispers sad lullaby. <br />Birth itself a mark of death <br />Reasons cannot even defy <br />A reality that is destined <br />That life has finite end <br />On earth for all of us<br /><br />Marvin Brato Sr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aging-heart/
