The shape we draw to symbolize the heart
Looks nothing like the real-life body part
Like the hair upon the head of many a lady
Looks nothing like their actual graying shady
But trust in love is ageless and alluring
And when it’s real it’s oh so reassuring
So here’s to all who’ve found true love enduring
Through joints that creak and need some resecuring
To couples sharing secrets, pills, and memory
Who use the TV remote in harmony
Whose love has stood the test of every year
From first hello to “What? Speak up, my dear!”
May laughter keep you young, may hugs stay warm
May love transcend each wrinkle, ache and storm
For hearts that beat as one are works of art
And that’s the true shape of the human heart
