i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

I just love this poem by e.e. cummings !

i carry your heart with me(i carry it in my heart)

i carry your heart with me(i carry it 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)
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)

I plan to use this reading as Andrew and I are watering our unity tree. What is a unity tree you ask? A unity tree was our idea to replace the unity candle at our outdoor, mountain top ceremony. Our mothers will each bring mason jars with water (at which point we will give our FMILS roses) and we will use the water to nourish the tree. Same symbolism as the unity candle, but with a twist. Since we are getting married in Colorado, what is more appropriate than a pine tree? We will plant it after the wedding at our home to remain a symbol of our union. It's a nice bonus that this is a "green" option as well!
