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)

Malaya, Mommy and Daddy carry your heart in ours. We love you.

I love this. A musician friend of mine wrote a song about Beatrix and played it for me the other night. When she sends me the lyrics, I'll forward to you.

we found out a few days ago that we are having a miscarriage. We have thought about you guys a lot and your postings have been a good source of comfort for me - so thanks for sharing.

Faye and King-
I've been looking at your blog and reading some of the posts and I just want to say that I'm so sorry for what you have been through!
I'm thinking of you both!
