When your heart was beating (Poem)

When your heart was beating
You carried the whole world
Inside your heart
You were a saviour,
A helper, a giver, a doer
 
When your heart was beating
You were an unstoppable force
Who swept everyone up
Into his vortex of love
Family, friends, strangers alike
 
When your heart was beating
You built a cocoon of love
To keep us safe and warm
You gave us wings to fly
And an anchor for stormy seas
 
Now your heart beats
Inside our hearts
Every beat of our heart
Reminds us of your love
Filling our lives to the very brim
 
Inspiring us to
Give more, live more,
Do more and be more
Because when your heart was beating
The world was a more beautiful place...
