I’m a fan of this poem because it’s very easy to grasp, and I feel like many people can relate it it in different ways and situations. For instance, of course it can be a meaningful poem between a husband and wife, but it can also be just as meaningful between a parent and child. But most of all, I like this poem because it reminds me that even when you’ve lost someone in death, you can and will still carry that person in your heart.

 

[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)
