I Carry Your Heart With Me

I made my way downstairs to the studio where my parents were watching the end of the movie "In Her Shoes". I was less than thrilled to walk in on a wedding scene, but I confess, I'd never heard this poem before and I found it lovely and moving. (The wedding scene could go f*@k itself, but the poem was great.)

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)
