5 tips for a healthy heart
It was her heart that finally did her in
Just like that, one July evening,
It just stopped beating.
How could it happen like this?
It didn’t make any sense at all
She was in a hospital with
every doctor, every device at her call.
She had the checkups,
the measured, low sodium diet
Pills of all sizes from morning to night.
Then how come her heart never did heal
From the fears, the disappointments
No medical specialist could reveal.
In the days, weeks, months
of dealing with the aftermath
I didn’t even know where to start
To mend my own broken heart.
And through days of endless tears
And nights of deep despair,
And rants at a life that seemed so unfair
The light slowly but surely did seep in
Through my wounds, and my heart began to heal
My grief taught me precious lessons,
though they came at a great cost,
I learnt to make a new start,
even when all seemed lost.
And yet, ever so once in a while, I do wish
If together we had another shot at this
I would lean across the table and hold her hand
And say for you to have a healthy heart, here’s the plan:
1) Deep in your heart, know that you are enough
2) Go ahead, show you vulnerability – stop being all tough
3) Let go of the past – it’s not worth your time
4) Play hard and 5) love harder
And you’ll be fine.
