Listen to poem:

But Only Half

Don’t wear your heart on your sleeve
People wont understand what they see

Don’t leave your heart at someone’s feet
For that’s no place for it to be

Carry your heart before you
In the palm of your hand

And consult it every day
On those things for which you must take a stand

Your heart is half of you
But only half

But only half (C) 1986 Susan Manley
