I Carry Your Heart With Me

"Life is like an onion; you peel off one layer at a time and sometimes you weep."
Carl Sandburg

Today was an off day. It seemed as though everything was destined to be against me. I can only hope tomorrow will be much better.
On another note, regional choir was this past weekend. What a fun time! The music was all lovely but I Carry Your Heart With Me, which included the poem by American poet e. e. cummings was cheesy but definitely my favorite. Here are the lyrics.

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
