I Carry Your Heart – E.E Cummings
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 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)
"This is my absolute favourite poem – I think it sums up family, friendship and love. I’m sure many people feel this way about Anne and we certainly do in Scotland.
Lots of love always, The Goughs x x x x"
