According to symboliccreations.com/Heart.ht… "The heart symbol, known today throughout the western world as the symbol for love and affection, has actually been has been evolving both in shape and meaning for thousands of years.
The shape is thought to be a combination of ideograms. It incorporates the symbols for fire or flight from the middle ages along with its equivalent counterpart from the open sign structures. It then combines the symbol for togetherness to form the modern icon.
Historically, the meaning of the heart symbol grew from its use as a religious icon. Ancient Egyptians called the heart symbol Ieb, believing it was the center of all consciousness, the center of life itself. It was the only organ not removed during mummification. Among Christians, it stands for charity, hope or forgiveness as is the case in the Sacred Heart. Buddhists, Muslims, Hindus, Taoists, Celts and others religions have used the heart icon in some form. Generally speaking, the heart was the center of thought, emotion or the soul, the center of one's being.
Today, although most of the religious icons and meanings endure, the Western world has adopted the heart as the official symbol of love. A few exceptions should be noted. Amongst Americans, growing concern with their growing waistlines, has prompted many restaurants to include healthy choices on their menus indicated by a heart symbol. Finally, in Sweden, don't expect romance in the room with the heart on the door. Sweden associates the heart symbol with rest rooms."

June has Petals
Wildflowers
~Tom Petty
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
Sail away, drift off the hours
You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, find you a lover
Go away, somewhere all bright and new
I have seen no other
Who compares with you
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free
Run away, go find a lover
Run away, let your heart be your guide
You deserve the deepest of cover
You belong in that home by and by
You belong among the wildflowers
You belong somewhere close to me
Far away from your trouble and w

May Has The Circle Game
The Circle Game by Joni Mitchell
Youtube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5HXT0bn7QY
Yesterday, a child came out to wander
Caught a dragonfly inside a jar
Fearful, when the sky was full of thunder
and tearful at the falling of a star
and the season's they go round and round
and the painted ponies go up and down
we're captive on the carousel of time
we can't return, we can only look
behind from where we came
and go round and round and round in the circle game
then the child moved ten times round the seasons
skated over ten clear frozen streams
words like "when you're older" must appease him
and promises of "someday" make up
