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)

One of the things Katie like to draw as a little girl were hearts, all different colors of hearts floating all over the paper. When she got older, Katie used to sign her letters with " heart always, Katie." I think If I ever get a tattoo for her, it'll say just that. This beautiful poem helps me to think of carrying Katie with me always, that she'll always be a part of me. I will always carry her heart in my heart.

My friend Kathy noticed me looking at this poem on a glass wall hanging and then she surprised me with it for Christmas! Love is all around.
