    E.E. Cummings "I carry your heart with me" and this other one that has the words "I like my body when it is with your body.'

    A poem I love by Blake is "The Chimney Sweeper" (the first one, from "Songs of Innocence"), which has sad yet beautiful images and gives us a window into the horrors of children's lives during the Industrial Revolution but also shows the purity, innocence and redemptive power of a child's

    imagination.
