“May Angels Lead you In”

  

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

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 with me, I carry it in my heart.

- E. E. Cummings
