Vishal Dutia

My heart has suffered many throes
Of love and loss and pain and grief
It has endured the highs and lows
Of hope and doubt and joy and brief

But still it beats with steady grace
And waits for its true mate to find
It does not rush or slow its pace
But keeps a calm and patient mind

It knows that someday it will meet
The one who makes it whole and free
The one who makes it skip a beat
The one who shares its destiny

Until that day it will not break
But hold its faith and courage strong
It will not give up for love’s sake
But sing its own resilient song
