Heartbeat

When you have children
Your heart beats outside your body
It has a pulse that skips a beat each time they stumble
It races with each triumphant cry
Your arms are ready to catch them
when the truth of life challenges their naivety and cause them to stumble over their own feet 
When they hurt, your heart bleeds 
When they fall your prayers pick them up
Their laughter are the bells that chime in your heart 
When you have children
You learn to let go of what you want
For what they need
