New poem: "A Change of Heart"

 

A Change of Heart

I used to worry about my health,

but not so much anymore, not since

I became wise to my soul contract

to exit this life when I choose.

 

I’ve always trusted God, but I tied

up my camel anyway; I stopped

smoking, ate the proper foods,

and exercised regularly.

 

Then I had two heart attacks,

a triple by-pass, and had a change

of heart; now whether I tie up  

my camel or not does not matter,

because what will be will be.
