A Poem .........by E.E Cummings

SENT TO MY MOTHER AFTER MY DAD DIED,

6th April 2009 - from Kylie and Tom Burgess Kime

A poem

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)
