e.e. cummings - i carry your heart with me

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in
my heart)i am never without it(anywhere
i go you go,my dear; and whatever is done
by only me is your doing,my darling)
i fear
no fate(for you are my fate,my sweet)i want
no world(for beautiful you are my world,my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

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 the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

i carry your heart(i carry it in my heart)

My husband died Nov,15, 2008 and his memorial will be at his beloved beach in Oct. of 2008. This poem will be in the invitation to the memorial for it has helped me understand how he is and will always be with me.
One could also see this as a pray as God being the person carried within your heart. I hope this will also help others greaving for I carry his heat with me I carry it in my heart and we are still doing things together.
