I Carry Your Heart With Me By Ee Cummings

Love is something first given to the child by those waiting for the infant to enter the world. Companionship is what the child feels as soon as they are resting in the arms of their parents and family, while they are promising them that they will never leave their side or how they will always be beside them. E.E. Cummings expressed her feelings of love and companionship put together throughout the poem, “I Carry Your Heart With Me”.
A sense of togetherness is brought up in the first stanza Cummings wrote. Love is definitely something felt in the heart, and that is where is should always stay. Especially with a child in this case. "I Carry Your Heart With Me(i carry it in my heart)." At the beginning, the reader is able to understand how the
“One might not ordinarily think that a poem an adult has read would be suitable for a child” said Cameron & Company. The child then goes on to realize that her mother will never leave her alone, that everything she is doing will only benefit them both or simply the child itself. There should never be a moment gone by that a child feels left alone. This poem gets to the reader by the wise words of companionship chosen by the author. “I am never without it(anywhere i go you go,my dear;and whatever is done by only me is your doing.my darling)”(Line 2). Cummings uses the use of apostrophe while writing this to let the reader know that this was something he might have gone through or felt in his past. He might also be using this in a positive way towards the children. “Mellow colors and images are patched together from paper, cardboard, fabric, canvas, and paint fuse beautifully with Cummings's gentle words.” said
“here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life;which grows higher than soul can hope or mind can hide)” The mother is quick to compare her daughter to a tree which was, of course, a great way to emphasize her feelings and thoughts about her daughter throughout this entire poem. A tree is cared for and can never be left without wanting and needing more of something, just like a child. Once the child is born, they are quickly planted and began to grow many large “roots” of support. By comparing the child to a tree, Cummings knew that he was using this imagery in a perfect comparison between the two things that need the most care and love. A child first has to be given to the right family, then as the child begins to learn all the right things in their mind, which in this case can be the roots; they begin to thicken in nutrients. With that comes a strong system of support which are their parents, but for now is the ground around the tree, which helps the child stand tall and makes sure they are not to stumble over easily no matter what. Then, of course, the trunk which can be used as an example for the family of the child. They will always be there surrounding and showing love, helping the child get through it all,
