Wake up, you tired little muscle
Don’t let me down today
I know you’ve been working overtime
Just keep some blood in my veins
We have a lot to accomplish
If we work together I’m sure
We will find rest out here someday
The humdrum of living will disappear
Sleep when you can
Don’t lose your rhythm
Keep yourself warm
You can’t stop giving
I still depend
On you being steady
So wake up, my friend
Although you are heavy
I will take care to protect you
If you won’t abandon me now
I can’t guarantee I won’t break you
I guess we both know how that worked out
We still have daylight for living
And moonlight for being alone
Wake up and bring me some color
We have so much to get done
Sleep when you can
Don’t lose your rhythm
Keep yourself warm
You can’t stop giving
People can’t see
How you’ve been exhausted
But they can see me
And I need to make it
So wake up, you tired little muscle
Don’t let me down today
I know you don’t feel like moving
But please keep some blood in my veins
We have a lot to accomplish
If we work together I’ll bet
We can be all they expected of us
So please don’t give up on me yet

“Sleep when you can
Don’t lose your rhythm
Keep yourself warm
You can’t stop giving
I still depend
On you being steady
So wake up, my friend
Although you are heavy”
Once again (I know, repeating myself by now) I applaud you!
Thank you very much. I can always use the additional motivation 🙂
We spend so much time complaining about our hearts but we never stop to encourage them, very well written and insightful. It made me remember that sometimes we need to show ourselves a little love before we can give some to others, thanks.
Thank you for taking time to think about my words. I appreciate it. Yes, we all need encouragement, and sometimes we must give it to ourselves
This is a wonderfully different kind of poem about ones heart, I love it!
May your heart keep waking up for years and years to come.
Big hugs, Nikki
Perhaps it will. Thank you, Nikki. It is good to see you again
Only you, could write something as lovely as this about the heart.
