A Poem About Hearts

My son had to write a shape poem for his homework today.  The instructions told him it had to be about love or hearts.  He almost cried because writing poems is hard and he said it's something he isn't good at.  I told him it's not something he has tried to do much, so he shouldn't tell himself he is bad at it.
He said he wanted to write about hearts.  So I suggested the line, "If your heart stops beating you will die."  He laughed.  And I told him about how to do an AB rhyming pattern. As with most boys, things sort of took a morbid turn, but he had fun writing it, so it's all good.
The paper gave him a heart-shape to write in, but it's a lot harder to put a four line poem into a heart-shape on the computer, so I'm just going to let you read it the way he wrote it before he put it in the heart.
So here it is.  My eleven-year-old's poem about hearts:

If your heart stops beating, you will die.

If your heart stops beating, I will be filled with sorrow.

If your heart stops beating, you will go bye-bye.

If your heart stops beating, you will be gone tomorrow.
