This is a poem I found by EE Cummings. It was read in the movie "In Her Shoes" and when I heard it I couldn't hold back tears. In so many ways it describes the love I have for him. I just wanted to share it with you all, because so many of us can relate to it I'm sure.


"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)"

I was thinking about using it somehow in the wedding... I could most definitely get someone to read it for me during the ceremony... it wouldn't be the traditional scripture and poems... this one is a different one... i haven't heard it before for a wedding!
