The sound of a beating heart

is heard on Day 21

capable of feeling pain.

The sound of a beating heart

is quickly followed by eyes, ears, lungs, arms, legs,

and blood flowing through a tiny heart and even tinier veins.

to an active mind.

The sound of a beating heart

The sound of a beating heart

fills our ears.

It could be yours, it could be

The sound of a beating heart

is the symbol of tomorrow.

The sound of a beating heart

fills the air with its silence.

It is no more.

Tomorrow
