“Ups and Downs” by Bryan Novais

Ode to My Heart

by Milos Klaric

I was born with you in me. You are crucial to my survival. You are important to me. You are like every other. You move and you pump, pump, pump. But to keep me alive, you wouldn’t skip a beat. There is no you without me. You move and you pump, pump, pump. You are not bitter. You keep me up. You pump like a trampoline. You spring into action like a spring. I need you and you need me. I trust you with all my heart. You help the substances travel through me. You are the most important organ in my anatomy. You control the pipes of my body or my veins. 55
