Untitled, (MY HEART IS BEST)
Abeer A, Berger Park
My heart is the best.  It helps me breathe.
I like it very much.
If it stops I won’t breathe.  I might die if it stops.
I would always like it if it does not stop.
That is a very bad thing
I like it very much
It is a thing I want to know: how it looks like
It would be a dream come true to see my heart
It would look so cool.
That is going to be my favorite part.
I would want to see my heart
I’ve been trying to see it for my whole life almost
That is why that is said
And I would want to do that very quickly
Because it is my favorite
Now that my heart is a superhero I see it
It is very gooey, it has water in it and dots too.
And but it tastes good
I like it very much
It tastes like strawberry
I love it very much
It saves all kinds of animals and animals only
Which I would like to be my friend always too
My heart is very smart
It pumps blood all through my body
It gives me air too
I love it very much
If I see it high I will give it a high five
Although it is my body, I will talk to it all the time
That is my final and last warning
The End
