The Lonely Heart

“I carry your heart with me (I carry it in my heart), I am never without it anywhere.”

― E.E. Cummings

I carry in my heart

The Sacred

I carry in my heart

Children

And grandchildren

I carry in my heart

The vulnerable ones who cross my path

I cannot take a step

But that they are there

At times I fail

To let anyone know I care

My own pain and fear

Gets in the way

I do not listen

I push my own ideas

I protect myself and sell myself

The pattern is there

And so I walk through life

Closed and alone

I cannot release the love that is there

if cannot find its way out

and so I walk through life

a child of the sacred

With love

To

spare
