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

In the movie, "In Her Shoes", Cameron Diaz reads the poem "i carry your heart with me" by e.e. cummings creating a touching moment during the wedding scene. Although I had read this poem in high school English classes, it was not until it was presented in this movie did I discover how moving of a poem it is. Although the poem has been a favorite reading at weddings for many years, the movie contributed a renewed interest in the poem. 




i carry your heart with me(i carry it in)
By 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 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)




If you selected to have a poem read at your wedding, framing the poem would be one way to treasure a memory from your special day...
