Hello,

This is Rachel Boucher and today I am sharing with you a poem by E.

E.

Cummings,

Often called 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 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.

What a wonderful poem about holding the beloved in your heart.

What is your heart saying to you right now?
